[Ta Kung Pao News]According to Al Jazeera and Reuters, Israel launched an airstrike on the 11th, killing Abdullah, a senior commander of the Lebanese Hezbollah. Hezbollah then launched a fierce retaliation, launching rockets and armed drones at nine Israeli military bases on the 13th. Since the outbreak of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Hezbollah and Israel have been in a state of exchange of fire, and the hostility has continued to intensify. The outside world is worried that the two sides will face a larger-scale confrontation.

The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement that day saying that the Sea of ​​Galilee region in northern Israel and the Golan Heights controlled by the country were attacked by 45 rockets and drones on the afternoon of the 13th. Air defense sirens frequently sounded in many places in northern Israel in a short period of time.

Videos on social networks showed that some buildings were damaged and some farmland was on fire. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said earlier that Israel was ready to take “very drastic action” against Hezbollah in the north.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah said on the 13th that from October 8, 2023 to June 13 this year, it had carried out 2,125 military operations against Israel, with an average of 9 attacks a day; launched nearly 2,000 rockets or guided weapons of various types, destroying 122 Israeli command centers, 10 “Iron Dome” system platforms and 7 Israeli military drones; causing more than 200,000 Israelis to be displaced and forced Israelis to evacuate from more than 40 settlements.
