The Israeli regime stages a fresh bout of strikes against Lebanon under the pretext of hitting back against the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, which it stubbornly blames for a recent attack on the Israeli-occupied Syrian territory of Golan Heights, Press TV reports.
The strikes took place against the southern Lebanese towns of Houla, Markaba, Aita al-Shaab, Khiam, Shaheen, Yaroun, Mays al-Jabal, Kfarkela, and Bourj al-Shamali on Monday.
This is the second time the regime carries out sweeping raids against the country since Saturday, when a rocket attack killed at least 12 people in Syria’s Golan Heights.
Israeli officials, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, foreign minister Israel Katz, hard-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, and military spokesman Daniel Hagari, have insisted that Hezbollah was behind the attack, and pledged to take it out on the movement.
Hezbollah has, however, strongly denied any role in the incident.
