18 Israelis injured in Hezbollah missile strikes as border tensions grow​

One person critically hurt after vehicles hit by anti-tank missiles as Israel denies Hezbollah claim it was targeting soldiers


Eighteen Israelis have been injured, one critically, after the Iranian backed Hezbollah militia fired anti-tank missiles from southern Lebanon in a further sign that the skirmishes along the border are steadily escalating.

Several vehicles near the northern community of Dovev were hit in the missile strike, whose victims included Israel Electric Corporation employees who had arrived to repair power lines damaged by previous fire from Lebanon. Hezbollah sources had claimed they were soldiers, an assertion denied by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). The Magen David Adom emergency service said one of the civilians injured in the attack was in a critical condition.

Israel’s chief military spokesperson, R Adm Daniel Hagari, said the IDF was “at a very high state of readiness in the north” and that “Lebanon’s citizens will bear the cost of this recklessness”.

On one of Amir's updates, he was saying that Hamas jumped the gun with the Oct 7 attack and threw a spanner in the works as Iran and Hezbollah were actually still trying to plan a more opportune time to unleash an attack on Israel but Hamas has kind of blown this for them now.

Be interesting to see what Hezbollah's move will be next whether they keep calling bluffs or will actually join in this war properly and unleash the many rockets that they supposedly have

If Hezbollah does, they will quickly regret it. And not just because of Israel. Hezbollah are Shiite; the Muslim majority in Lebanon is Sunni. There is no love lousy between them. If the Shiites cause Israel to attack the southern part of their country, the Lebanese Sunnis will turn on them and make them pay dearly.
