Al-Arabiya: as a result of IDF air strike on Hezbollah facility in Lebanon, there are killed
Al-Arabiya TV channel reports referring to sources in security structures that as a result of an IDF air strike on a target in Lebanon on Monday evening, February 24, there are dead.
According to the source, the object of the Shiite terrorist organization Hezbollah near the Syrian-Lebanese border was attacked. There is also unconfirmed information that the target of the strike was a convoy with ballistic missiles that Hezbollah tried to deliver from Syria to Lebanon.
Earlier, the Lebanese state news agency NNA reported that the Israeli Air Force had hit 2 on targets in the area of the village of Nabi Shait. Other Lebanese media initially reported that the strike was inflicted by Syrian aircraft, but later all the Lebanese media reported on the Israeli air force attack.
Hezbollah has so far refrained from commenting. Official Jerusalem also does not comment on this information.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Jerusalem in the afternoon of February 25, declined to comment on reports of an air strike on Hezbollah objects in eastern Lebanon. "Our policy is clear. I do not comment on what we did or did not do. However, we will do everything necessary to ensure the security of Israel," said Netanyahu.
Israeli leaders have repeatedly stated publicly that the IDF will not allow the supply of new missile weapons to Hezbollah from Syria. But over the past year, only once has Israel officially recognized the fact of striking a target on Lebanese territory: 23 August 2013, when, in response to a rocket attack on Israeli territory, a point was struck at the Lebanese terrorists' facility near the village of Naame. Israel did not recognize its involvement in strikes against targets in Syria.
