IDF fires dozens of shells at targets in Lebanon after rocket attack on Israel

2022-04-25

[IsraelTimes] Military says rocket landed in open area near Kibbutz Matsuba, close to border, without causing damage or injuries; no warning sirens sounded and army says alert levels ’normal’

The Israel Defense Forces said early Monday that its forces attacked targets in ~~Lebanon~~ Hezbollahstan
<del>Lebanon</del> Hezbollahstan

...In 2006 unknown persons blew up Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, the car he was traveling in, the road he was traveling on, and a few innocent bystanders of no account whatsoever. The person or persons unknow weren't Hezbollah, you can bet on that. Really. Even though there was an international tribunal that said it was them...
after a rocket was fired into Israel earlier in the night.

"IDF artillery is now attacking targets in Lebanon and firing at the launch area in retaliation for the rocket fired into Israeli territory," the IDF said in a statement.

Earlier, a rocket was fired into Israel from Lebanon landing in an open area near Kibbutz Matsuba, close to the border, without causing damage or injuries.

Hezbollah-linked media in Lebanon also reported that a rocket had been fired toward Israel.

No rocket warning sirens sounded in Israel as the rocket landed in an open area, and the military said that alert levels in the area remain "normal."

"We reacted in a quick, deadly and effective way," said Captain Yotam Zeituni, the commander of the artillery battery that responded to the rocket fire.

The United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
peacekeeping force along the border, UNIFIL, urged restraint.

"A rocket was launched from Lebanon toward Israel early this morning. Israel Defense Forces are returning fire with dozens of shells. UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander @aroldo_lazaro urges calm and restraint in this volatile and ongoing situation," UNIFIL tweeted.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in Lebanon and no claims of responsibility.

There have been several instances of rocket fire from Lebanon into Israel in recent years with most blamed on Paleostinian factions in the country, not the Hezbollah terror group.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
it is unlikely that ~~bandidos~~ Lions of Islam in southern Lebanon would be able to fire rockets without at least the tacit approval of the Iran-backed militia, which maintains a tight degree of control over southern Lebanon.

An Nahar adds:

A Katyusha rocket was fired Sunday night towards northern Israel from the southern Lebanese area of Ras al-Ain south of the city of Tyre, Lebanese media reports said.
