ALBAWABA - Atbireim, Niviveh Ziv, and Menot are the three Israeli settlements that Hezbollah attacked on Friday. This was the first time that such targets have been attacked since the start of the operations against Israel in October 2023.

A senior commander of Israel's elite Radwan troops was killed in an airstrike on Thursday, according to the Lebanese organization, and this operation was in retaliation. The Israeli strike occurred in southern Lebanon.

Six people were killed in an Israeli bombing on Thursday, including Ali Jaafar Maatouk, a well-known commander in the Radwan forces. Hezbollah, an organization that backs Hamas, and the Israeli military have launched many retaliation assaults in response to the intensifying war.

Firefights along the Israel-Lebanon border have occurred almost every day since the start of the Gaza war. These discussions often grow more intense in reaction to particular events or deliberate attacks on field commanders.

516 people in Lebanon have died as a result of the recent Israeli assault, mostly combatants, although 104 civilians have also perished, according to AFP.
