On the morning of the second day, Israeli warplanes launched sustained and deeper aerial attacks on what appeared to be a Hezbollah facility at the Beqaa valley and other targets, according to sources in Lebanon. Al-Aqidержаscribed in a statement that two of its members from Bekaa Valley were eliminated in the attack.
The Israeli said that its fighter jets had aimed for two Hezbollah military command centres in northern Lebanon in response earlier to rocket launches of Hezbollah towards northern Israel. The new weighting on inter-communal strife portrays a deepening of the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel that has been portrayed as a paralleled war to the one in Gaza, raising stress and panic of a big-scale standoff between warring neighbours.
Hezbollah retaliated by launching more than 100 Katyusha rockets at several Israeli military posts at 7:Local time 00. The organizer made a comment on this that that was in reply to the Israeli artillery attack on the Bekaa Valley area last night. Sadly, the case of a citizen who was killed in Air strikes in an attack on Israel on Monday, which was taking place near the famous ancient Roman ruins in Baalbek city.
IFA notified that its airstrikes attacked Hezbollah’s asset workshops in the Baalbek area to weaken their capabilities of supplying weapons. Moreover, our artillery destroyed two compounds in the Khiam area and terror infrastructure in Bint Jbeil as well, as declared by the Israeli Army Command.
The reservation area Bekaa Valley between the Lebanese-Syrian boundaries is known as the stronghold refuge for Hezbollah, the company for Shi’ite Islamists. Although these recent clashes are the strongest, the 2006 wars in this period between Hezbollah and Israel also demonstrate the high intensity of the current dispute. The violence thus far has been mostly along the borders. However, recent strikes on both sides have been more frequent, entering into new areas apart from what used to be the battlefield.
Thinking back to October already 6 months ago, when the strikes of Israeli bombers led to the killing of over 200 Hezbollah fighters and as well around 50 civilians from Lebanon. While the death count of Israeli Army members is 12 and civilian casualties are 6 in the attacks fired from Lebanon to Israel, it can be seen that the figure is lower than the attacks from Israel to Lebanon. Spiralling confusion has caused tens of thousands of Israelis and Lebanonians to quit their houses in the border villages close to the conflict.
Due to escalating tensions, the condition continues to be unstable, and a potential higher confrontation is becoming more likely than before.
