The Israeli military said about 100 of its fighter jets “struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels” across dozens of launch sites from Lebanon on Sunday.

Hezbollah said the “first phase” of its strikes against Israel “ended with complete success,”claiming that it launched 320 rockets and a barrage of drones toward Israel.

Hezbollah said it carried out strikes towards Israel in response to the killing of top military commander Fu’ad Shukr last month in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a populous neighborhood that is also the Iran-backed group’s stronghold.

    A two front war now? Seems like a bold strategy let’s see how it pans out.

      The more fronts they open the longer party can stay in power

        Some of the sea peoples ended up settling in caanan and such, so it’s arguable that their descendants kinda are.

      Hezbollah has been bombing Israel since Oct 8 in solidarity with Hamas. This is just the latest escalation.

        Israel could stop the genocide then. They won’t but that would be better than bombing another country
