Heavy fighting with Hezbollah militias
Recently there were heavy fighting between the Hezbollah militia and the Israeli army. Israeli soldiers are combing the border area around Kafr Kila, state news agency NNA reports. The Israeli army is attacking the area with artillery, tanks and fighter jets. The troops blew up dozens of houses in the Aitarun and Jarun areas, security sources said.
Expensive interceptor missiles
Israel is now also advancing towards the north of the country. In return, Hezbollah continued its rocket fire into northern Israel unabated. According to the army, dozens of projectiles were recorded. Some were intercepted, others fell into open areas. Initially there were no reports of casualties or major damage.
However, the interceptor missiles are expensive for Israel. According to media reports, each interception attempt costs the equivalent of tens of thousands of euros. According to Israeli information, the Shiite militia has fired more than 8,000 rockets into Israel since the war began a year ago.
