Israeli warplanes conducted an airstrike on an important weapons manufacturing site belonging to Hezbollah in the Nabi Sheet area. The strike was confirmed by the IDF spokesperson for Arab media, Avichay Adraee. The IDF spokesperson stated that the raid was in response to launches that violated the borders from Lebanese territory towards the north of Israel during the previous night.
Lebanon's National News Agency reported that the Israeli airstrike targeted a building in the town of Nabi Sheet in Lebanon's Baalbek region. The strike comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides engaging in military actions along the border.
Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group based in Lebanon, is considered a significant threat by Israel due to its armed capabilities and close ties with Iran. Israel has repeatedly targeted Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in an effort to prevent the group from acquiring advanced weapons and conducting attacks against Israeli territory.
The latest airstrike is likely to escalate tensions further between the two countries, raising concerns about the potential for a broader conflict in the region. Both Israel and Hezbollah have warned of the possibility of a new war, with the situation remaining volatile and unpredictable.
The international community has called for restraint and de-escalation, urging both sides to avoid actions that could lead to a dangerous escalation. The United Nations and other world powers have expressed concern over the recent developments and have called for dialogue to resolve the underlying issues peacefully.
