Jerusalem: Israel is facing its enemies on many fronts. Hezbollah and Hamas are attacking Israel simultaneously, while Israel is fighting these terrorist organizations alone. On Saturday, Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private home. Now the Israeli army retaliated by attacking Hezbollah's weapons facilities in Beirut.
Let us tell you that when Netanyahu's house was attacked, he was not present at home. At the same time, Israel said that Iran-backed Hezbollah has made a big mistake by attacking Netanyahu's house. According to Reuters, Israel is preparing to retaliate to the Iranian missile attack that took place earlier this month.
Hamas will no longer rule Gaza
Israel has stepped up its offensive against Hamas in Gaza. Hamas media said Israeli bombing killed more than 100 people in Gaza's coastal enclave and tightened the siege around three hospitals. On Saturday, Israeli planes dropped leaflets over southern Gaza with Sinwar's picture and the message that Hamas will no longer rule Gaza.
At the same time, Hamas media said that at least 73 people were killed and dozens injured in Israeli attacks on a multi-storey building in the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahiya on Saturday. An Israeli official said that the Israeli army is investigating the number of casualties in the air strike in northern Gaza, initial investigation suggests that the number is exaggerated.
Attacks on Hezbollah positions
Israel launched intense airstrikes on several locations in Beirut's southern suburbs, leaving a thick cloud of smoke over the city by evening. The Israeli military said the strikes targeted several Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and a Hezbollah intelligence headquarters command center. Witnesses said Israel had issued orders to evacuate four different areas within the suburbs in Beirut, urging residents to stay 500 meters (yards) away, but other areas were also hit.
One man killed in Hezbollah attack
On Saturday morning, Hezbollah also attacked northern Israel with 55 rockets and drones. A 50-year-old man was killed and four were injured in this attack. The deceased was sitting in his car when a piece of a rocket destroyed by the air defense fell on the car, badly damaging it. Meanwhile, the Israeli army has claimed to have killed Hezbollah's deputy regional commander Nasser Rashid in Bint Jbail town of southern Lebanon. In another incident, two people walking on the road in Beirut were killed in an Israeli air strike.
