Violence continues on the Israeli-Lebanese border. Hezbollah announced on Sunday June 23 that it had launched a “explosive drone” against a military site in northern Israel. In a statement, the Islamist movement based in Lebanon, ally of Hamas, assured that it had targeted an Israeli barracks in Beit Hillel, in “responds to the attack by the Israeli enemy in Khiara”, occurred Saturday in eastern Lebanon, in which a leader of the Lebanese Islamist group Jamaa Islamiya was killed, according to security sources at AFP.
The Israeli army, for its part, affirmed in a press release that a “hostile drone launched from Lebanon“had entered northern Israel, but had been intercepted. He “fell in the Beit Hillel region without causing any casualties”, she said, while warning sirens were activated in the region.
The pro-Iranian Lebanese movement, an ally of Palestinian Hamas, also published a new video showing what it presents as sites in Israel with their coordinates, without identifying them. Five days earlier, he had revealed images of Haifa taken, according to him, by a drone which flew over this large port in northern Israel.
More than eight months of violence between Hezbollah and the Israeli army in border areas have left at least 480 dead in Lebanon, including a majority of Hezbollah fighters and 93 civilians, according to an AFP count. On the Israeli side, at least 15 soldiers and 11 civilians were killed, according to the Jewish state.
