Hezbollah has said that it has conducted an operation against Israeli forces in the Golan Heights in retaliation to the death of its seven fighters in Israel’s raids on Mayfadun and Adaysseh.
"Islamic resistance fighters fired dozens of Katyusha projectiles at the enemy air defense headquarters near Kalia in the Golan Heights and at army barracks," it said on its Telegram channel.
Earlier, Hezbollah said that four field commanders had been killed in an Israeli attack on Mayfadun near Nabatiyeh and three more had been killed in a raid on the Adaysseh area.
According to the Janoubia news portal, Israeli forces used vacuum bombs to attack the Hezbollah target in Mayfadun.

Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of the Shiite Hezbollah party, has said that the latest attacks by its armed groups on settlements in northern Israel are not yet a response to the killing of military commander Fouad Shokr and Palestinian Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
ReplyDelete"Strikes on Israel are being prepared from Iran, Yemen and Lebanon. They will certainly be carried out," said Nasrallah, whose speech was broadcast by Al Manar TV. "Our joint response will be strong, sensitive and effective."
The Shiite militia was not the initiator of expanding the conflict, he recalled.
"We did not seek military escalation. It was Israel’s decision. It was their choice," he emphasized. "Now there will be days and nights of battles between us."
Nasrallah stated that the Shiite fighters possessed the kind of rocket weapons that "would make it possible to destroy several Israeli military factories in less than one hour."
"The fact that the Israelis have been waiting a week for us to retaliate is part of their punishment," he said.
