Hezbollah targets Beit Hillel command center in northern Israel

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday Israeli troops and positions including a command center in northern Israel as Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling targeted Lebanese border villages.

Hezbollah said it has targeted the Beit Hillel command center, inflicting casualties and groups of soldiers in the Jal al-Alam, al-Marj, and Ramim posts. The group had earlier targeted the Ramim post with Burkan missiles. It said all attacks were "direct hits."

Israel for its part bombed Mays al-Jabal, al-Labbouneh, Kfarshouba, Houla, Tayr Harfa, and the outskirts of al-Naqoura.

On Monday Hezbollah targeted four posts in northern Israel, three of them in the occupied Shebaa Farms while Israel struck "the sources" of rocket launches as well as additional areas in Lebanon, "including Hezbollah targets".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said Monday that a complete victory in Gaza will deal a fatal blow to "the axis of evil" that is Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas.

France and the U.S. are on separate Middle East crisis tours, aimed at securing a truce in the Israel-Hamas war.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had warned days ago that a potential pause in Gaza will not apply to the ongoing hostilities with Hezbollah.

Since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on October 7, the Lebanese-Israeli border has witnessed near-daily exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.

The previous weeklong truce agreement in late November, in which 105 hostages were released, saw both Israel and Hezbollah hold their fire on the northern border, even though this wasn’t part of the agreement inked between Israel and Hamas via Qatar and Egypt.
