The situation in the Middle East has escalated rapidly with Hezbollah fighters engaging in clashes with Israeli troops along the Lebanese border. Israel launched intense airstrikes on Hezbollah strongholds, while Palestinian militant group Hamas reported casualties from an Israeli strike on a refugee camp. This escalation comes days before the first anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel and follows Iran's missile attack on Israeli targets.
BEIRUT – Hezbollah said on Oct 5 its fighters were confronting Israel i troops in Lebanon ’s southern border region, where the Israel i military said it struck militants from the Iran-backed movement inside a mosque.
An Israeli military official told AFP the army was “preparing a response” to Iran’s attack, without elaborating. On the ground, Hezbollah said its fighters were engaged in clashes with Israeli troops in the border area, later claiming a rocket attack at northern Israel’s Ramat David air base, some 45km from the frontier.
The Iranian attack, which Tehran called revenge for the assassination of Nasrallah and other top figures, killed one person in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. According to satellite pictures, it also caused some damage to Nevatim air base in southern Israel. In a nearby neighbourhood, 62-year-old cook Abu Abbas told AFP he has kept his small eatery open every morning. “Even with the strikes that are becoming increasingly heavy each night... I cannot leave home,” he said.
