Tensions are high along Israel Lebanon border after Hezbollah fired precision rockets into Israel

Tension of the Israel-Lebanon border seemed high on Thursday (October 12) as Israeli troops, tanks and vehicles were deployed and on standby, a day after violence on the border between Israel and Lebanon flared up for a fourth day on Wednesday with Israeli shelling hitting southern Lebanese towns in response to a fresh rocket attack by Iran-backed Hezbollah. Hezbollah said it had fired precision missiles at an Israeli position in response to the killing of its members in Israeli shelling earlier this week, pledging “decisive“ responses to attacks on Lebanese territory, especially deadly ones. The Israeli military said it had hit a Hezbollah position with an air strike and had also “attacked“ Lebanon after a military post near the Israeli town of Arab al-Aramshe was targeted with anti-tank fire on Wednesday. It did not immediately provide details on casualties. A Lebanese security source said Hezbollah fired two precision missiles into Israel, which the group considers its sworn enemy. Hezbollah and Palestinian terror group Hamas both claimed attacks from Lebanon on Tuesday. Hezbollah fired a guided missile at an Israeli tank, posting a video of its destruction, and Hamas said it launched a salvo of rockets from Al-Koleilah into Israel. The outbreak of violence along the border came after Hamas launched a deadly attack against Israel at the weekend, with Israel unleashing a bombing campaign against Gaza.
