Rockets fired from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel (European)
The official Hebrew Broadcasting Authority said yesterday evening, Wednesday, that 17 Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed in attacks by Lebanese Hezbollah that began on October 8, 2023.
The Commission reported that "17 Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed, the majority of whom were killed by anti-tank missiles and drones launched by Hezbollah, from southern Lebanon, since the beginning of the confrontations after the Gaza War."
Usually, the Israeli authorities do not announce the deaths of soldiers who fall in the ongoing confrontations on the northern border of Israel.
In the same context, the Commission indicated that the Israeli army monitored the launching of 3,500 missiles from Lebanese territory towards Israel since the beginning of the confrontations with Hezbollah.
The army also monitored the launching of 38 missiles from Syrian territory, which it said "did not result in any casualties among the Israelis," according to the same source.
In the wake of a devastating war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, which led to Tel Aviv appearing before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide,” the Israeli-Lebanese border has witnessed, since October 8, 2023, an exchange of fire between the Israeli army on the one hand and Hezbollah. The Lebanese government and Palestinian factions, on the other hand, led to deaths and injuries on both sides of the border.
