IDF Launches 'Widespread' Strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon After Deadly Attack

While the Israel Defense Forces continue working to take out Hamas terrorists and their infrastructure in the Gaza Strip — and following an epic rescue of two hostages over the weekend — other Iran-backed terrorists in Lebanon to Israel's north found out that launching a new round of attacks was not a good idea.

The latest spate of rocket fire from Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon that killed at least one woman and an IDF soldier in Safed, Israel, and injured eight others was met with what the IDF says were counter-strikes carried out by fighter jets that targeted the terrorists' "military compounds" and "operational control rooms" among other targets, including some belonging to "elite" Hezbollah Radwan Forces.

"We have experienced a difficult event," said Benny Gantz, a member of Israel's War Cabinet following the latest attacks by Hezbollah. He warned that "the response" to those attacks that claimed at least one Israeli life would "come soon and powerfully." Indeed it did. "Not only is Hezbollah responsible," Gantz emphasized, "but also the government and the state of Lebanon."

Israel's strike in response to Hezbollah's rockets has been confirmed by the terrorist group to have taken out at least one fighter, Hassan Najem. 

It's worth noting, as Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Senior Adviser Rich Goldberg did, that the most recent attack launched by Hezbollah "ranged at least 13 kilometers," further underscoring issues with the "phony" deal seeking to prevent Hezbollah attacks on Israel by moving its terrorists 10km from the border. 

While visiting the relatively peaceful, though still tense situation, at the Israel-Lebanon border in August with FDD, this writer saw how close Hezbollah terrorists were to Israel's land despite existing restrictions on how close they were supposed to be allowed — as well as at least one decommissioned tunnel constructed by the Iran-backed terrorists that could have allowed a 10/7-style invasion from the north.

Earlier this year, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari pledged that Israel was prepared to "immediately" attack Hezbollah if the terrorists launched new assaults but emphasized Israelis "do not choose war as our first priority" while warning the IDF "will continue to act wherever Hezbollah is present."
