According to media reports, three people have been killed in an Israeli attack in Lebanon. According to the pro-Iranian Hezbollah, one of their fighters was among them.
Another person is said to have been injured, the Lebanese news agency NNA reported on Wednesday. Israeli warplanes attacked the border town of Bint Jbeil on Wednesday evening.
Israel controls information
The town is considered a Hezbollah stronghold and was the scene of heavy fighting between the Shiite militia and the Israeli army during the 2006 Lebanon War. The Israeli military is currently verifying the information.
Hezbollah claimed new rocket attacks on Israel on Wednesday. There was talk of attacking a naval target. According to the Israeli army, there was an air raid siren in the Israeli border town of Rosh Hanikra on the Mediterranean coast. The Times of Israel reported that at least 18 rockets were fired at Rosh Hanikra. The missile defenses intercepted about a third of them.
Since the start of the Gaza war following the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, there have been repeated clashes between the Israeli army and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in the border area.
Worried about a big war
There were deaths and injuries on both sides. It is the worst escalation since the second Lebanon war in 2006. It fuels fears of a new, bigger war between Israel and Hezbollah.
