Beirut. For the first time during the Gaza war, Lebanon's Hezbollah organization carried out a major attack on Israeli military bases using drones. Hezbollah had sent an entire squadron of drones to attack Israel. There is no confirmed information yet about the loss of life and property due to this. However, most of these drones were shot down in the sky by Israel's defense system.
The Iran-backed armed organization Hezbollah has been continuously attacking Israel in support of Gaza's organization Hamas since October 8, 2023. Israel is also continuously retaliating against the organization's bases in Lebanon.
The Israeli army on Monday reported heavy damage to several Hezbollah targets in air strikes and killing its commander Ali Hussein Sabra. Meanwhile, Saeed Abyar, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard appointed to advise the government in Syria, has been killed. Iranian news agency SNN has blamed Israel for the murder.
Destroying Hamas is Israel's top priority
The Israeli government's top priority is to destroy Hamas. Along with this, the government also wants the safe return of hostages from Gaza. This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said, as the Prime Minister, he is working to achieve both the goals, but as the head of a coalition government, he is also facing pressure from the allies. Many times, difficulties arise in implementing the decisions taken unanimously in the War Cabinet.
Itamar Ben-Givir, the leader of the far-right party in the Israeli government and the Minister of National Security, has said that Prime Minister Netanyahu is whitewashing the US President's Gaza plan to implement it. He is slowing down the war in Gaza.
Israeli army action continues in Rafah too
Meanwhile, 11 people have been killed in the latest attacks by the Israeli army in Gaza. Of these, seven people including a woman have been killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp and four people including three children have been killed in the Burej refugee camp. Israeli army action is also continuing in Rafah.
