A fierce war is raging between Israel and Hezbollah. On Friday, Israeli forces carried out targeted attacks in south Beirut, killing 8 people and wounding 59, including a top Hezbollah commander.

According to sources, Ibrahim Akil, the head of Hezbollah's elite unit 'Radwan', has been killed in an Israeli attack. This is the third time Israel has carried out airstrikes in south Beirut since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7 last year. On the other hand, Hezbollah has also retaliated. On Friday, Hezbollah fired 140 rockets targeting various areas of northern Israel. The Israeli army confirmed that the Lebanese border was targeted from three sides on Friday afternoon. Hezbollah said its Katyusha rockets targeted several places on the border, including an air defense base as well as the headquarters of Israel's Bakhtariya Brigade. The rocket attack was in response to Israeli attacks on villages and homes in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned on Thursday that the deadly attack on communications equipment was a serious blow that crossed all limits. We will come out stronger and continue to attack Israel. Nasrallah released a video from an unknown location, which was broadcast live.

the fire of fierce war

The explosions of pagers and other communication equipment in Lebanon this week and the subsequent air strikes have raised fears that the 11-month-long Israeli-Hezbollah shootout could turn into a major war. It is noteworthy that 37 people were killed and 3,000 injured in the explosions of communication equipment. It is believed that Israel blew up the pagers and walkie-talkie sets. Hassan Nasrallah also blamed Israel for these blasts. Earlier, Hezbollah had said that it had targeted three military bases in northern Israel near the border, including two drone attacks. But the Israeli army says that the drones have crashed near the population.
