[IsraelTimes] Footage shows controlled explosion in southern Lebanon that triggered earthquake alerts in northern Israel; Israeli jets strike Hezbollah weapons and command sites in Beirut

Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at northern Israel while Israel’s air defenses shot down four drones launched from Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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...
by the Iran-backed terror group on Saturday. The hostile aircraft triggered air raid sirens in the Upper and Western Galilee as well as the northern border cities and towns of Kiryat Shmona, Metula and Tel Hai, but no injuries were reported.

In a statement, Hezbollah claimed it launched a drone attack against the Tel Nof air force base, south of Tel Aviv.

In addition to the drones, Hezbollah fired some 200 rockets at northern Israel throughout the day. In one of the barrages, 15 rockets were launched from Lebanon at the Western Galilee, with some intercepted while the rest hit open areas, the IDF said. There were no reports of injuries from the rocket fire, which sparked fires at several locations in the north.

The attacks on the north came as the army pressed on with operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Footage posted on social media showed a massive IDF explosion in southern Lebanon Saturday morning, which triggered earthquake alerts across northern Israel. The blast was from the detonation of a Hezbollah tunnel.

The IDF also said Saturday that troops with the 91st Division seized four truck-mounted rocket launchers during operations in southern Lebanon this week. According to the military, the launchers were loaded with some 160 rockets.

Separately, around 130 Hezbollah launchers were struck by the Israeli Air Force in the past week, the IDF says. The launchers included those used to fire rockets at Israel, including in Friday’s attack on Majd al-Krum that killed two residents of the northern Arab town.

Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in Beirut. According to the IDF, the targets included weapons manufacturing sites, a command room belonging to Hezbollah’s intelligence division, and surveillance equipment. The Hezbollah assets were all located in civilian buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb, according to the IDF. Before the strike, the military issued evacuation warnings to civilians.

Separately, the IDF said a cell of Hezbollah operatives who launched a missile at an IDF drone in southern Lebanon Friday were killed in a dronezap a short while later. The drone flying over Kfar Fila was not hit in the incident, according to the IDF.

Lebanon’s health ministry reported that a Hezbollah-affiliated paramedic was killed in an Israeli strike on a medical center in southern Lebanon, which left five others maimed, three of them also members of the Islamic Health Committee.

The IDF estimates that more than 2,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict. Around 100 members of other terror groups, along with hundreds of civilians, have also been reported killed in Lebanon.
