Hezbollah Fires Rockets into Israeli-Contested Areas in ‘Solidarity’ with Palestinians, Threatens Escalation if Israel and U.S. Will Not Stop Its “Foolishness” (VIDEO)
Chairman of the Executive Council of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Sayyed Hachem Safieddine
On Sunday, Israel Defense Systems (IDF) announced it had exchanged fire with the terrorist group Hezbollah, the Iran-backed armed group in Lebanon, in a contested area in Israel.
This exchange comes on the heels of a devastating attack by Palestinian terrorist group Hamas that left hundreds of Israelis dead and thousands injured.
Hezbollah, an armed party backed by Iran, launched guided rockets and artillery onto three posts in the Shebaa Farms area. They claimed this was “in solidarity” with the Palestinian people, following a multi-pronged attack by Palestinian terrorists on Israeli towns.
Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine warned that the attack in Shebas was a “message” to the Israelis and the US to stop this “foolishness” or the whole region will be involved in the war.
