Attacking Israel-Hezbollah Continues After The Onslaught That Killed Nearly 500 People In Lebanon

JAKARTA - The Israeli and Hezbollah wars continued after a massive Israeli attack that killed nearly 500 people.

Israel attacked Hezbollah's target in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah attacked military facilities in northern Israel.

As reported by Reuters on Tuesday, September 24, the Israeli military said it attacked dozens of Hezbollah targets, a day after carrying out airstrikes against the armed group which Lebanese authorities said killed nearly 500 people.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it was targeting several Israeli military targets including an explosives factory 60 km (37 miles) to Israel, which was attacked by Fadi rocket at around 04.00 am local time, Tuesday, September 24.

Hezbollah also attacked the Megiddo airfield near the northern Israeli city of Afula three times separately overnight.

The fighting has raised fears the US, Israel's close ally and Iran's regional powers, which have proxies in the Middle East Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthis and armed groups in Iraq will be dragged into a broader war.

The attack added to pressure on Hezbollah, which last week suffered heavy losses when thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members exploded in the worst security breach in its history.

The operation is widely linked to Israel, but Israel has not confirmed or denied its responsibilities.
