The IDF attacked a military structure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization and where terrorists were staying in southern Lebanon on Friday in Ayta ash Shab.
The Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in hostilities for months in parallel to the Gaza war, the worst conflict between the two since 2006.
Behind the lines: Baalbek strike demonstrates extent to which Israel has discarded previous tacit ‘rules of engagement’.
Having boosted its activity amid wartime, the non-governmental organization with its 7,000 volunteers has distributed a full year’s worth of medical equipment loans within just three months.
Hezbollah wanted to draw a new equation in the North, in which it has impunity to attack, and Israel responds in proportion.
As of February, there are still upwards of 100,000 internally displaced residents of Israel's northern and southern communities.
Had they had such vehicles, it would not have averted the entire tragedy by a long shot, but could have saved many lives and made some of the battles more even until IDF reinforcements arrived.
The IDF responded to wave of rockets by striking at the sources of fire.
"We are working to stop Hezbollah's supply of ammunition from Iran," he continued. "Wherever Hezbollah is - we will act, anywhere in the Middle East."
The attack comes less than two hours after the last strike.
