Tension is escalating in the Middle East with a new attack by Hezbollah against Israeli military positions in the northern part of the country, as well as in the occupied Golan Heights.
Tension is escalating in the Middle East, as Hezbollah launched a number of rockets against Israel, as well as the occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military announced on Tuesday morning that it had detected "about 55 missiles" fired from Lebanon. While it pointed out on Tuesday that it hit "one of the launchers" used against "Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights".
“Some missiles were intercepted and others landed in unpopulated areas. There are no injuries," the army said in a statement. After the missiles fell, fires broke out "in many areas in northern Israel." As a result, firefighters are fighting to extinguish them.
Earlier, Hezbollah had indicated that it had fired several rockets at Israeli army positions in the Golan Heights "in response" to strikes targeting areas of eastern Lebanon on Monday. As the announcement specified specifically, "in response to the attack of the Israeli army in the Bekaa region".
On Monday night, the Israeli Air Force announced that it had struck Hezbollah ammunition depots in the area.
The situation in the Middle East
Since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas on October 7, there have been almost daily hostilities. Both between the Israeli army and Hamas, and with Hezbollah, which supports the Palestinian Islamist movement.
But concern about an expansion of the conflict in the region has intensified since the Israeli strike that killed a Hezbollah military official in its stronghold in a southern suburb of Beirut in late July and the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniya in Tehran. Iran and Hezbollah have warned they will respond.
