Hezbollah announced this Friday that it had launched “dozens” of rockets at Israeli positions. The IDF says it intercepted some of the shots, while others fell into empty spaces.
Nearly 10,000 UNIFIL soldiers are deployed along the Blue Line, the demarcation line set by the UN between Lebanon and Israel. UN officials said it was “crucial” to reach a political solution, based on the “full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701i” This resolution, which ended the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, stipulates that only the Lebanese army and UNIFil be deployed in southern Lebanon.. At least 363 people, mainly Hezbollah fighters, including at least 70 civilians, were killed in Lebanon, according to an AFP count, and 18 people in Israel, ten soldiers and eight civilians. The Israeli army is responding with raids that target deeper and deeper into Lebanese territory, as well as targeted strikes against Hezbollah officials. More information to follow on leparisien.fr.
