Hezbollah Refutes Involvement In Rocket Attack On Israel

Hezbollah has dismissed allegations of launching rockets at Israel, following Israel’s retaliatory strikes on southern Lebanon. The Iran-backed organization issued a statement on Saturday, categorically denying responsibility for the attack, which Israel claims originated from Lebanon.

In its official statement, Hezbollah asserted that Israel’s accusations serve as justification for its ongoing military operations in Lebanon.

“Hezbollah denies any role in the rocket fire from southern Lebanon into the occupied Palestinian territories (Israel),” the group declared.

Israeli Military Response

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out multiple airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in response to the alleged cross-border rocket attack.

“Earlier today, the IDF targeted numerous Hezbollah rocket launch sites and a command center used by Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon,” the military stated.

Israel maintains that its actions were necessary to counter the threats emanating from Hezbollah’s operations in Lebanon.
