More tit for tat: Israeli warplanes targeted the outskirts of Naqoura, al-Labbouneh mountain
2024-03-10
[An Nahar] Israeli warplanes on Saturday bombed a house in the southern town of Majdal Zoun, totally destroying it, prompting emergency crews and paramedics to head to the area, the National News Agency said.

Earlier on Saturday, an Israeli drone fired a missile at an empty house in the southern border town of Blida, NNA said.

Hezbollah meanwhile said it fired a heavy-caliber Burkan rocket at the al-Baghdadi Israeli military post, achieving a "direct hit."

Israeli warplanes had overnight targeted the outskirts of Naqoura as well as the nearby al-Labbouneh mountain.

...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, mostly Hezbollah fighters but including 50 civilians. On the Israeli side, 10 soldiers and seven civilians have been killed according to the Israeli army.
