Today, Friday, the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Israeli forces exchanged shelling on the border between them, amid tension in the border region for two days, which the United Nations described as very dangerous.

Meanwhile, Israel said it was unwilling to escalate or go to war;

But she is ready.

Hezbollah said that it bombed open lands in the vicinity of the Israeli occupation sites in the occupied Shebaa Farms with dozens of 122mm rockets.

The party added that this targeting came in response to the Israeli air raids on open lands in the Al-Jarmaq and Al-Shawakir areas last Thursday night.

Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that the Israeli site in the Shebaa Farms was targeted with a missile launcher.

The Israeli forces had bombed the vicinity of the Kfar Shuba hills, before the Israeli army announced that several shells were fired towards Israeli territory, most of which were intercepted, while the rest fell in open areas.

The Israeli military spokesman said that the bombing of open areas shows Hezbollah's deterrence, as he described it.

In turn, the Lebanese army announced that the Israeli artillery bombed the vicinity of the towns of Sadana, Bastra and Kafr Shuba in the south of the country with 40 shells, causing fires.

urgent meeting

The Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister held an emergency meeting to discuss the issue.

And Israeli media quoted an Israeli official as saying that the government is moving to end the matter.

Israeli media quoted a security official as saying that the continuation of the operations depends on the needs and appropriate timetables for Israel, and that the security services are preparing additional response options in accordance with the developments in the security situation.

The security official, who was described as a high-ranking official, said that the Israeli army has been launching large-scale attacks in Lebanon for several days, including firing artillery and launching attacks on infrastructure through the use of combat aircraft, in a way that has not happened in years.


The security official added that the Israeli security services are preparing additional response options through various open and secret means, according to the developments in the security situation.

He added that the continuation of these operations will depend on the needs, operations and timetables appropriate to Israel.

This is the first time that Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for targeting Israeli sites, since a military escalation between the two parties in 2019.

The Hezbollah leadership reiterates the need to "fix the rules of engagement" established by the last war with Israel in July 2006.

Today, Friday, the United Nations Interim Forces operating in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) warned of a "very dangerous situation" in light of the escalation.

And it announced - in a statement - that its forces "detected the firing of missiles from Lebanon and in response to Israeli artillery, and the situation is very dangerous," and urged "all parties to cease fire."

Blessed Palestinian resistance

Commenting on these developments, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) expressed its blessing and full support for Hezbollah's bombing of Israeli targets.

Hamas said - in a statement - that it sends greetings to the resistance in Lebanon, as it "responds to the aggression and breaks the equations that the occupation tried to impose and establish the equation of bombing with bombing, and the initiator is darker."


Hamas stressed that resisting the occupation and responding to its crimes and violations is a right guaranteed to the occupied and the aggressed peoples, and stressed that the battle with the occupation must remain open on all fronts until its demise and the liberation of the holy sites and the Arab and Islamic land.

The Islamic Jihad movement also said that it expresses its full support for Hezbollah's missile response, and affirms the right to resist the occupation and not allow it to impose new equations or change the rules of engagement.

She stressed that "responding to the crimes of the occupation by all means is a right that the resistance and the peoples of the nation who seek freedom and deliverance from the occupation will not abandon."
