“It rains” the Middle East after its rocket and drone attack on the event that has caused global alarm. Israeli forces in turn launched preventive blows at Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s attack on Israel occurred on Sunday morning (25.08.2024) in the northern part of the country as retaliation for the murder of Fouad Sukr in Beirut. He immediately met the cabinet of Israel led by Benjamin Netanyahu, who said his country would take all necessary measures to defend itself. The country was declared in an emergency, while sirens were also sounded. “We are determined to do everything possible to defend our country, return the inhabitants of the north safely to their homes and continue to observe a simple rule: Whoever hurts us, we hurt them,” he said. Lebanon’s Shia movement Hezbollah announced that he completed “the first phase” of retaliation for the death of a leading strain of his military arm, Fuad Sukr, in an Israeli air bombardment in a suburb of Beirut last month. Lebanon’s Shia movement noted that it today hit 11 Israeli military targets and launched over 320 Katiusa missiles. Hezbollah announced this morning that she “launched an air attack with a large number of drones and missiles in retaliation for Sukr’s death, specifying that she targeted “a special military target, as well as Israel’s Iron Dome platforms and other locations.” A man died today in an Israeli air strike in the city Hiam in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency and source of security forces. The Israeli army carried out preventive air strikes in southern Lebanon this morning, because it identified preparations for the Shia movement of Lebanon Hezbollah, an ally of Palestinian Hamas, for a “wide scale” attack against Israel. Meanwhile, flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport, Tel. Aviv, Israel’s civil aviation authority announced, after delaying takeoffs and diverting landings to other airports in the country, at the time Israel stated that it is trying to prevent an attack by Lebanon’s Shia organization Hezbollah. Israeli Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Roy Steinmetz announced a re-opening of Ben Gurion Airport “at 07:00′ local time (and Greek time) including take-offs and landings”. “The planes that had been diverted to other airports will take off again towards Ben Gurion,” he added.
