Israel: We have attacked Hezbollah targets in Syria 50 times since the October 7 attack

On Saturday, February 3, the Israeli army confirmed that since the terrorist attack by the Hamas militant group on October 7, it has targeted Hezbollah's positions in Syria more than 50 times. Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Israeli army, announced this while Israel typically remains silent about its attacks on Hezbollah in Syria. This senior military official warned, 'Wherever Hezbollah is, we will be. We will act wherever necessary in the Middle East.' According to him, Israeli forces have attacked 3,400 Hezbollah targets within Lebanon, including 120 border observation posts, 40 missile and weapon depots, and over 40 command centers of this group supported by the Islamic Republic. The Israeli army spokesperson estimated the number of Hezbollah casualties in these attacks to be around 200. Daniel Hagari added that three divisions of the Israeli army have been deployed along the northern borders with Lebanon to counter Hezbollah since the Hamas terrorist attack in southern Israel. Hezbollah's attacks on northern Israel have forced tens of thousands of Israeli citizens to evacuate their homes. Israel has warned that if Hezbollah does not distance itself from its border areas, conflicts with this group may spread to other regions of Lebanon. Simultaneously, Israel has requested assistance from Western countries to find a diplomatic solution in Beirut. Seven people were killed in an attack attributed to Israel in southern Damascus. Israel targeted several Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Reuters reported that the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah are assisting the Houthis in the Red Sea attacks. Reuters also reported that Hezbollah rejected the U.S. proposal for 'de-escalation.' Ongoing tensions in the region have increased the likelihood of war between Israel and Lebanon.
