Israel-Hezbollah exchange attacks throughout the night!

Israel conducted attacks across southern Lebanon throughout Monday night. At night, they launched air strikes targeting several Hezbollah positions. On the other hand, Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon also launched counter-attacks targeting Israel last night.

In an online post, the Israeli Defense Forces said that more than 200 rockets were fired from Lebanon targeting the Afula area and valleys in northern Israel last night. ‘Sirens’ warning of attacks sounded throughout the night in these areas. At least two Israelis were injured in the attacks.

Lebanon witnessed its bloodiest day since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war on Monday. From the morning, Israel launched intense air strikes on several areas in southern and eastern Lebanon. A part of the capital Beirut was also attacked. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that at least 492 people were killed in the attacks, including at least 35 children. More than 1,600 people were injured.

The Israeli Defense Forces reported that they attacked and destroyed nearly 1,600 Hezbollah targets. These include various infrastructure, bases, and weapons of the Lebanese armed group.

The Israeli Defense Forces believe that the buildings in Lebanon targeted by Israeli warplanes contained weapons depots. They argue that secondary explosions were observed after the attacks.

According to The Times of Israel, most schools in northern Israel were closed on Tuesday due to fears of retaliatory attacks. The Lebanese Ministry of Education has also ordered all schools to be closed.

Due to the exchange of attacks, several airlines have temporarily suspended flights to Beirut.
