Israeli aircraft attacked the Gaza Strip and the surroundings of the Lebanese city of Tire
At night, the Israeli combat aviation launched rocket and bomb strikes on the Gaza Strip and on Lebanon. This happened after yesterday's most massive missile attack in recent times on the territory of Israel itself. This strike was carried out, as stated, from the southern part of Lebanon. Prior to this, the Israeli security forces held a tough action in the Al-Aqsa mosque, calling this action (using stun grenades and tear gas) anti-terrorist.
Among the targets of the Israeli strike were objects near the Lebanese city of Tire.
The bombing of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon was condemned by Hamas, pointing out that Israel, by the actions of its own security forces in the Al-Aqsa mosque, in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, launched a new escalation in the region.
Statement by the head of the UN special mission in Lebanon, Major General Aroldo Lazaro:
Acting Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati:
According to Mikati, official Beirut also rejects all attempts to use Lebanon "to stage actions that threaten regional stability."
Israeli authorities say that 44 rockets were fired at Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip in one night, of which 35 or 36 crossed the border. Of these, 8 were intercepted by the Iron Dome complex. The day before, Israel announced that 34 rockets were fired from Lebanon into its northern territories.
