Hezbollah has been attacking Israeli military bases near Lebanon’s northern border since October 8. The attacks started one day after the Hamas-Israel war began. The intensity of the attacks increased last week after a Hamas official, Saleh Arouri, was killed by an Israeli strike in southern Beirut.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated on Saturday that they will continue to retaliate. They dismissed criticism about starting a full-scale war with Israel, unless Israel starts one first. If this were to happen, Hezbollah anticipates an endless war.
“We cannot keep silent about a violation of this seriousness because this means that all of our people will be exposed . All of our cities, villages, and public figures will be exposed,” Nasrallah said.
After Arouri was killed, Hezbollah fired 62 rockets at an Israeli air surveillance base on Mount Meron, hitting two army posts. The Israeli military said that 40 rockets targeted the base. Israeli army spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were no casualties, but Hezbollah says six fighters were killed, bringing the total death toll to 150 since the clashes began.
Airport screens are commonly used to display hacktivist messages in the region. In May 2018, the screens at Mashhad city airport in northeast Iran were hacked and defaced by an unknown group of hackers, who posted messages opposing the Iranian government.
