Israel has carried out a series of major attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, a military spokesman for the country said on Friday. These were offensives that impacted the Iranianbacked group's positions on the Israeli border.
“We are continuing intensive attacks to attack Hezbollah’s positioning near the northern border,” Israel’s military spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said in a televised statement. “It doesn’t look the same as it did on October 6 and it won’t.”
Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israel on the border since its ally Hamas attacked Israelis on Oct. 7, sparking a conflict that drew the group and other Iranianbacked factions into the Middle East.
However, the violence in Lebanon is largely limited to border regions and is based on socalled informal rules of interaction between opponents who have long threatened each other in the event of war.
Israel has said it is not considering opening a battle front in the north of the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Beirut would become “a Gaza Strip” if Hezbollah started a war.
According to Hagari, the targets of recent air, tank and artillery attacks include launch pads, military installations and squadrons.
