Hizbollah reported striking several Israeli military positions near the border with Lebanon. The Israeli military responded by attacking Hizbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including “a military command center, rocket storehouses and military compounds belonging to Hizbollah”. “As in the Gaza Strip, we will not allow Hizbollah terrorists who are firing at us, to reap the benefits of using the south Lebanese population as human shields, as they embed themselves in urban infrastructure”, said a spokesperson. “We will strike the exact location from which attacks are fired towards us. We will continue to respond and to strike immediately. We are highly prepared in the north, both offensively and defensively”.
