Hezbollah said it fired more than 100 rockets at Israeli positions on Wednesday in retaliation for a strike that killed a senior commander
Rockets fired from southern Lebanon are intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defence system over the Upper Galilee region in northern Israel on July 3, 2024. - Hezbollah said it fired"100 Katyusha rockets" at two Israeli positions on July 3 after an Israeli strike in south Lebanon killed a senior commander from the group.
“A Hezbollah commander responsible for one of three sectors in south Lebanon was killed” in an “Israeli strike on a car in Tyre”, a source close to the group told AFP, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media. Hezbollah said that “as part of the response” to Nasser’s killing, its fighters attacked two positions in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights “with 100 Katyusha rockets”.
A separate Israeli army statement said emergency services were “operating to extinguish a number of fires” caused by one of the attacks, in northern Israel’s Kiryat Shmona area.The source close to Hezbollah said Nasser had the same rank as Taleb Abdallah, a commander killed in an Israeli strike last month who was described by a Lebanese military source at the time as the “most important” Hezbollah commander killed to date.
In January, a security source said an Israeli strike killed Wissam Hassan Tawil, another top commander from the group.Instead, Hezbollah will “increase the pace of its pressure” on Israel, Fadlallah said in a statement carried by Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency. Fears the violence, so far largely restricted to the border area, could turn into all-out war have sparked a flurry of diplomatic efforts to lower tensions.
