Israel eliminated another commander Hezbollah during an operation in the south of Lebanon, Naser Abdelaziz Rashidresponsible for “inciting and carrying out terrorist acts from the municipality of Bint Jbeil against citizens of the State of Israel.” The Israeli army announced this Saturday the death of the militia commander, at the same time as it confirmed the activation of its air defense after the release of 180 missiles from Lebanese territory, one every 5 minutes.
The Israeli attacks would have reached, in addition to Bint Jbeil, the towns of Zefta, Habbouche and Kfar Joz, according to Lebanese security sources. Furthermore, the Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed the death of two people in the explosion of the vehicle in which they were traveling. The attack was attributed to Israel, although the Jewish country has not yet commented. If it were the author, it would be the first attack in the northern area of Beirut since the start of hostilities with Hezbollah more than a year ago.
The slain terrorist was identified by the Israeli army as Naser Abdelaziz Rashid, Hezbollah’s deputy commander for Municipality of Bint Jbeil and responsible for “promoting and carrying out terrorist acts from this area against citizens of the State of Israel.”
On the other hand, Israeli ground forces located various arsenals as part of the invasion of southern Lebanon. Among the discoveries are rocket launchers and anti-tank missile launchers “ready to be launched towards communities in northern Israel.”
Concerning Hezbollah missile attacks, there were “180” aimed at Israel, many of them towards Haifa and the north of the country. The population of the region began to flee in search of refuge from the attack. According to data provided by Israeli authorities, at least one person died and eight others were injured following the impacts on Western Galilee and Haifa.
The fatal victim is a 50-year-old citizen of the coastal city of Acre. The man did not survive his serious injuries. The people injured by the impact of the shrapnel are between 23 and 30 years old.
Almost at the same time, a Palestinian crashes his car against Israeli security forces stationed at the entrance to the settlement of Ofra, in the northern West Bank. The subject died inside the vehicle, according to Israel.
This attack and the death of the Hezbollah commander coincided with the launch of a drone aimed at the house of Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel denounced Hezbollah’s attempt to attack the Israeli Prime Minister’s house, located in the city of Caesarea. After the failed attack, the area was cordoned off and increased security measures were deployed, although the Netanyahu couple were not present in the house at the time.
Last Thursday, the Israeli army confirmed the death of the head of Hamas Yahya Sinwar during a bomb attack in Gaza. It was the mastermind of attacks on October 7, 2023. Israeli forces were able to confirm this thanks to DNA analysis bodies found among the rubble of a collapsed building, even though the images broadcast already suggested that it was in all probability the leader of the terrorist organization.
A few days earlier, the Defense Forces of Israel (FDI) announced the elimination of dozens of members of Hezbollah In Lebanon in less than 24 hours. The Shiite militia party terrorists were killed in aerial and hand-to-hand bombardments as part of the ground incursion that occurred on October 1, after more than eleven months of clashes on the border.
Today, Hezbollah fired nearly 180 projectiles from Lebanon towards Israel.
On average, one projectile every 5 minutes.
