Hezbollah supported the parties in the summer of 2006. He was also at all times “directly and field responsible for the leadership of the Southern Front, with all its axes and units” during the border conflicts that started on October 8, a day later. the outbreak of the Gaza war.

Precisely, Friday’s operation reportedly “eliminated” more than twenty Hezbollah members, according to the words of the Israeli army.
