As the war between Hamas and Israel continues, Hezbollah, a militia group in Lebanon, has joined the combat. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said it has identified launches from Lebanon into its territory.
The Jewish State Forces revealed this in a statement on its X handle @IDF.
It reads, “Over the last hour, a number of launches from Lebanon toward Israeli territory were identified.
In response, the IDF is currently striking a series of Hezbollah terrorist targets in Lebanon.”
Hezbollah is a political party and militant group in Lebanon that seasonally attacks the IDF as part of support for the Hamas militia group.
Also, in a separate post, IDF reported that “A cruise missile launched from the southeast toward Israeli airspace was successfully intercepted by F-35i fighter jets.
On the same day, the Israeli Air Force, IAF’s Arrow Aerial Defense System intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea area.
