Hezbollah vows retaliating Israeli killing of Lebanese civilians

15 Feb 2024 - 10:05

The Head of Hezbollah executive council has denounced the recent Israeli strike against southern Lebanon that killed a woman and her two children vowing that the resistance will let the attack go unpunished.


“Today’s offensive against southern Lebanon, during which a number of civilians were martyred, cannot pass without a response. There will surely be a response and it will be of the required level,” said Hashem Safieddine.

It was the first reaction by Hezbollah to a wave of Israeli attacks into various areas in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) said Israeli warplanes targeted a house in Sawwaneh with two strikes, “leading to its destruction” and the death of three members of the same family. It identified the dead as a Syrian woman and two children, aged 13 and 2.

The NNA also said an Israeli attack targeting south Lebanon’s Adshit killed one person, who Hezbollah announced was one of its fighters. The attack wounded 10 others, “completely destroying” a building and causing “great damage to commercial establishments, shops and homes” nearby.

Israel said it had responded to rocket fire from Lebanon that killed a soldier and wounded at least eight people in the town of Safed in the occupied territories.
Hezbollah and the Israeli regime have been trading near daily cross-border fire since the Israeli bombardment of Gaza began in October.

Hezbollah says its operations are meant to support Gaza’s resistance.
