Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) fighter jets attacked Hezbollah's operational command center in Lebanon on Wednesday evening, December 20, reports IDF on Telegram.
"A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck a Hezbollah's operational command center in Lebanon," the statement said.
It is noted that Israeli soldiers also discovered a number of terrorists approaching the security fence from Lebanon along the border near Metul. The IDF opened fire and hit the targets.
In addition, Jerusalem discovered four launchers that had crossed into Israel from Syria. The troops struck them and a Syrian army post.
War between Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah's attacks
On October 7, Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip attacked the south and center of Israel. Thousands of rockets and shells were fired across the country. Since then, tensions with Hezbollah have been rising. There are daily clashes between the parties along the Israeli-Lebanese border.
Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants regularly fire rockets at Israeli outposts and forces on the border. On November 10, in response to the shelling of Israeli territory, the IDF launched a series of strikes on the group's military bases using mortar-guided missiles called Iron Sting.
The Israeli air defense forces also intercepted one of the planes that entered the country from Lebanon. The other two crashed.
The Times reported that Israel may launch a ground war against Hezbollah to push them back 20 kilometers from the border.
