Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah fired over 200 missiles and about two
dozen drones at military bases in northern Israel on 4 July in retaliation for
the targeted assassination of Aziz Unit commander Mohammed Naame Nasser a day
earlier.
"In response to the attack and assassination carried out by the enemy in the
Al-Hosh area in the city of Tyre, we bombed on Thursday ... with more than 200
missiles of various types, the headquarters of the newly created 91st Division
is located in the Ayelet Barracks, the headquarters of the 7th Armored Brigade
located in the Katsaviya Barracks, the headquarters of the Armored Battalion of
the 7th Brigade located in the Gamla Barracks, and the headquarters of the 210th
Division [in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights]," the Lebanese resistance
detailed in a statement.
The fierce attack sparked several wildfires in the northern occupied territories
and sent the remaining settlers in the region scrambling into bomb shelters.
Field sources have reported several casualties as a result of Hezbollah's
missile barrage, although no official numbers have been released.
Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling hit several areas in southern Lebanon
on Thursday morning, including the towns of Houla, Aitaroun, and Ramyeh. The
warplanes also broke the sound barrier over several Lebanese cities, including
Saida, Tyre, Nabatieh, Jezzine, and Beirut.
After nine months of cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and the Israeli
army, tensions are threatening to boil over as Tel Aviv is looking to expand the
war on Lebanon in a last-ditch effort to regain control of dozens of northern
settlements.
