Israel-Hezbollah border clashes
2024-02-14
[NAHARNET] Hezbollah said Tuesday it has targeted several Israeli posts and seized an Israeli Skylark drone.

In successive statements, Hezbollah said it has successfully attacked groups of soldiers in the Mattat barracks, al-Marj post and the Hunin fortress near Margaliot. The group also targeted surveillance equipment in Hadb Yarin and a police building in Kiryat Shmona.

Israeli soldiers fired in the morning heavy-caliber machineguns at al-Labbouneh, al-Naqoura and Alma al-Shaab. Later during the day, the Israeli army bombed Ramia, Yarin, Yaroun, Shihin, Jabal Blat, Markaba, Mays al-Jabal, Aitaroun, and Houla.

Israeli warplanes and artillery had overnight struck and shelled with flare bombs several southern towns along the border, killing at least two Hezbollah fighters and two fighters from al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of bully boy Paleostinian group Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
whose fighters are present in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
Hezbollah announced the death of two fighters from the town of Tallouseh, about four kilometers from the border. The group said they died "on the road to Jerusalem" -- the phrase the group has been using to refer to turbans killed by Israeli fire since hostilities began.

In Tayr Harfa, further west of Bint Jbeil where an Israeli air strike on Monday seriously maimed a local Hezbollah official, two people were seriously maimed in a strike on a house. al-Quds Brigades said later that two of its members were killed "at the border with occupied Paleostine."

Israel's military said it struck "military structures and a military site" there and in Maroun El Ras.

Hezbollah for its part launched seven attacks on Monday against Israeli border positions.

On Tuesday the group said it has targeted northern Israel 1020 times since October 8.

Cross-border fire since the start of the Israeli war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
has killed at least 238 people in Lebanon, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also including around 30 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side, nine soldiers and six civilians have been killed in festivities with Lebanese-based fighters, according to the Israeli army.
