Israel-Hezbollah clashes escalate as Netanyahu hesitates to agree to Gaza truce
Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and Israel have ramped up fire exchanges over the past 10 days amid Tel Aviv's invasion of Rafah. The invasion has led to the displacement of over a million Palestinians.
🔸 On May 24, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah warned Tel Aviv about "new surprises" from the Shiite group if it doesn't stop hostilities in Gaza;
🔸 On May 25, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported discovering shells fired from Lebanon in Israel's northern territories, with no casualties. "In response," an IDF aircraft targeted Hezbollah fighters and facilities in the Aytarun region of southern Lebanon, and IDF artillery shelled the Lebanese Kfarkela area;
🔸 Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on May 28 and May 31 condemned Israel's strike on the Rafah refugee camp and "the war of genocide in Gaza and Palestine." He referred to Hezbollah's resistance as "a battle of destiny";
🔸 On May 30 and May 31, the Lebanese Shiite movement announced six and eight attacks on Israeli positions, respectively;
🔸 On June 1, Hezbollah downed an Israeli Hermes 900 drone over the southern Lebanese town of Deir Kifa. The Shiite group also fired two Burkan rockets into northern Israel with one of them reportedly hitting the Gibor Military Base near Kiryat Shmona;
🔸 The Israeli Air Force announced strikes against suspected Hezbollah compounds in Beqaa, Bint Jbeil, Qana, and Baraachit on June 1 and June 2;
🔸 On June 2, Hezbollah drones detonated in northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights. The group announced that it conducted 10 strikes on Saturday, targeting Israeli positions on both the eastern and western fronts;
The intensification of the fighting coincides with Israel's reluctance to embrace a new ceasefire proposal with the Palestinian movement Hamas.
