Hezbollah announced on Sunday that they have initiated strikes against Israel in retaliation for the killing of their top military commander, Fu’ad Shukr, along with other casualties, including women and children, in the same strike. The group stated that these attacks are in response to the incident that took place last month.
The strikes coincide with the day of Arbaeen, a significant day for Shia Muslims marking the end of a 40-day mourning period that begins with Ashura, commemorating the martyrdom of Hussain ibn Ali.
