The Israeli military has again attacked pro-Iranian Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. The army is currently attacking Shiite militia posts, the Israeli military said on Telegram on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the army killed the head of the Shura Council of the Islamist Hamas in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip. Osama Mazini was responsible for Hamas prisoners and directed terrorist activities against Israel, the army stressed.
Since the devastating terrorist attacks on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas and the Israeli army’s counterattacks on the Gaza Strip, there have been regular incidents on the border between Israel and Lebanon in recent days, raising concerns about further escalation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Hezbollah militia and Iran against attacks on Israel. “Don’t put us to the test in the north,” Netanyahu said in parliament on Monday at the start of the winter session. “Don’t repeat your previous mistake because this time the price will be much worse.” US President Joe Biden told them in English: “Don’t do it.” I told you in Hebrew: Be careful.”
The Israeli army says it killed the head of the Hamas Shura Council in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip. The army also posted a video of the attack on Telegram. The Shura Council elects the Hamas Politburo, which in turn is the highest decision-making body of the organization ruling in the Gaza Strip. The day before, the Israeli military had already killed the regional head of Hamas’ secret service.
On October 7, terrorists acting on behalf of Hamas carried out a massacre of Israeli civilians in border towns and at a music festival. It was the attack with the most casualties in Israeli history. More than 1,400 people died during and in the following days. Palestinian militants also abducted more than 200 people that day. Since then, more than 2,800 people have been killed and more than 10,000 injured in fierce counterattacks by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
