In a statement released on Sunday, Hezbollah said that its missiles hit Shtula town, killing and injuring several people.
The strike took place in retaliation for “the Israeli attacks targeting journalists, which resulted in the martyrdom of journalist Issam Abdullah and the injury of several other journalists, as well as the shelling that damaged a house in Shebaa [Farms], leading to the martyrdom of Khalil Asaad Ali Hashem and Riad Hussein al-Akoom.”Israeli media reported that one person was killed and three others wounded as an anti-tank missile was fired.The Lebanese news channel al-Manar reported that a Hezbollah flag was raised at the Israeli military site.The Israeli army said it was striking Lebanon and declared a zone within 4 kilometers of the Lebanese border off-limits to public access.The Hezbollah missile attack comes amid Israel's deadly bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip, which followed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on October 7.Hezbollah praised the Hamas operation, noting that it is a message to the Arab countries that are normalizing relations with the Tel Aviv regime.Armed resistance is the only way to confront the Israeli “aggression,” Hezbollah said, urging Israel to learn the “important lessons” taught by the “Palestinian resistance.”
