Hezbollah's rockets and drones sparked a number of fires in northern Israel
The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has launched more than 200 rockets and attack drones into northern Israel, in response to the killing of one of its senior commanders.
Israel's military said one of its officers was killed in the barrage, which started a number of fires.

The military also said it had targeted Hezbollah “military structures” and other targets in southern Lebanon in response.
Lebanese media reported that one person was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the town of Houla.

The latest barrage, which followed one comprising 100 rockets on Wednesday afternoon, was one of the biggest so far in the nine months of cross-border violence which have raised fears of an all-out war.
The Hezbollah commander killed in an Israeli air strike near the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, Mohammed Nimah Nasser, was one of the most senior figures in the group to have been killed in the conflict.

The Israeli military said Nasser commanded Hezbollah’s Aziz Unit, which is responsible for launching rockets from south-western Lebanon, and accused him of directing a “large number of terror attacks”

It also described him as “the counterpart” of Taleb Sami Abdullah, the commander of another unit whose killing last month prompted Hezbollah to launch more than 200 rockets and missiles into northern Israel in a single day.


A senior Hezbollah official said it would "target new sites" in Israel in response to the killing of Mohammed Nasser
There have been almost daily exchanges of fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the day after the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on 7 October.
Hezbollah has said it is acting in support of the Palestinian group that is also backed by Iran. Both groups are proscribed as terrorist organisations by Israel, the UK and other countries.

So far, more than 400 people have been reported killed in Lebanon, the vast majority of them Hezbollah fighters, and 25 people in Israel, mostly soldiers.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to restore security in northern Israel.

"In the tough campaign against Lebanon we have set a principle - whoever harms us is a dead man. We are making that a reality in practice," he said on Thursday.
The hostilities have also displaced tens of thousands of people from border communities in northern Israel and southern Lebanon.

“The response to the assassination of the dear leader Hajj Abu Nimah [Nasser]... started last night and quickly," senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine warned at Nasser’s funeral in Beirut on Thursday.

“This series will continue to target new sites that the enemy did not imagine would be hit.”
A spokeswoman for the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, Unifil, said the exchanges were now extending deeper into both sides of the border, and called on both Israel and Hezbollah to show restraint.

“We're very concerned... because any exchange, any incident, can escalate into something greater if there is a misunderstanding,” Kandice Ardiel told the BBC.

There has been a flurry of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in recent weeks, with the UN and US warning of the potentially catastrophic consequences of a war that could also draw in Iran and other allied groups.
Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that they are ready for a war if diplomacy fails. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Wednesday that the military would soon be ready to “take any action required in Lebanon, or to reach an arrangement from a position of strength”.

Hezbollah, which is seen as a significantly superior foe to Hamas, has said it does not want a full-out war with Israel and that it will observe in Lebanon any ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. But it has also warned Israel that it would fight “without rules” if there was a war.

This is getting out of hand

Both sides should cease hostilities abeg, enough of killings and destruction

A full blown war between these two will cause serious damage to both.


Hezbollah with nearly 200,000 rockets, missiles and drones of various types and ranges won't be easy to crush, de-escalation is what people should preach now

Lebanese army is another factor to consider, they won't sit back and watch Lebanon destroyed, israel should be extremely careful now more than ever before

"...whoever harms us is a dead man. We are making that a reality in practice."

Netanyahu is the BANE of terrorists. Whoever the gods want to kill, they push to attack Netanyahu's Israel.

Now Israel is under existential threat and they are free to use any weapon they seem fit that will safeguard their country

Where is ICC,UN and co

I no blame them. Na isreal i blame.

Like Just use 2 nuclear bomb turn that place to desert.
Isreal dey mess up

Good news for weapon merchants.

If there is no conflict, then there’s no food for weapon manufacturers and merchants.

A huge racket!

Hezbollah dey wait since, make Israel invade Lebanon na... 🥴
They've bombed the jooz ceaselessly for weeks now.

When will they give Lebanon the Gaza treatment?

It seems daddy yankee hasn't given them the green light 😂🤣


ZIO-WESTERN TERRORISTS ARE DOOMED!!! 💯

DeathToRiggers:
Those who seek to hurt us will be destroyed......... NETAYAHU

Israeli lives does not matter to the UN.

The United Nations(UN) presently is the most useless international organisation. No wonder Netanyahu utterly ignores them.

ok

People have been fighting since the beginning of time and they will continue to fight until it's remaining only one person . The plot twist is that life won't be sweet if only one person exists .

They somehow lose more than Israel each time the exchanges happen.

If the Israelis do not kill commanders, they kill large number of citizens. They also destroy whole towns and communities. Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, PL, Syria, the Houthis, always pay far worse prices.

This war needs to end.

Pressed by the axis of evil and a threat to the existence of the state of Israel, expect the use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

Satanyahu

Well said

In some few days time, head banging miscreants will still flock nairaland to cry when Israel hits the bastard head banging terrorists.

Beautiful! Let the war in the Middle East escalate quickly and spread like wild fire so that everybody can rest.

Alois Irlmaier’s prophecy concerning WW3 is gradually taking shape and all the players are already in formation.

I expect Israel and the United Snakes to launch a brutal offensive on Lebanon while Iran and Russia rally for Hezbollah.

Ukraine’s fate is sealed already, although Alois Irlmaier’s prophecy indicates that the WAR itself will erupt from the Balkans.

”A new Middle East war suddenly flares up, big naval forces are facing hostility in the Mediterranean — the situation is strained. But the actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkans.”

China can begin conducting probing attacks on Taiwan’s Air Defenses to learn its weaknesses.

North Korea can keep firing rockets over South Korea and Japan while we Afrikans observe on the sidelines.

When the nukes start flying, I hope those who have been shouting “Japa! Japa! will not regret the day they made that decision.

God Speed!
