Amid rising regional tension over Israel’s attacks on Gaza, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and Iranian-backed fighters in Syria launched 13 attacks against targets in the north of Israel and the Golan Heights, Washington, DC-based think tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said, Al Jazeera reports.
Hezbollah in Lebanon said it conducted 10 attacks on Israeli military positions along the border between the two countries on Thursday, including an antitank missile that killed an Israeli citizen near the settlement of Mattat, the ISW said.
Two rockets were also fired from Syria towards Buqata, in the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights, it added.
The ongoing attacks by Hezbollah in Lebanon come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli forces in the north of Israel on Thursday and issued a warning that his military would “turn Beirut and south Lebanon into Gaza and Khan Younis” if Hezbollah “makes a mistake”, the ISW said.
