Hezbollah says it has fired 62 rockets at an Israeli army observation post from Lebanon. It would be a preliminary response to the death of a Hamas leader. Israel has not yet confirmed the attack.
Hamas leader Saleh Al Arouri was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the southern outskirts of Beirut on Tuesday, January 2. The man was killed in the Dahiyeh district. That district is known as a stronghold of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah responded on Wednesday that the Hamas leader’s death was “a major, dangerous crime about which we cannot remain silent.”
Hezbollah has close ties with Hamas. The organization regularly carries out rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon. According to experts, Hezbollah has a large rocket arsenal.
The latest attack is part of a series of attacks that increases the risk of escalation in the Middle East.
