June 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah confirmed this Thursday the launch of missiles against Israeli Army fighter planes while they were flying over southern Lebanon, even breaking the sound barrier in a maneuver that the militia considers had the objective of ” terrorize children.”
“The mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance fired air defense missiles at enemy fighter planes attacking our skies and broke the sound barrier in an attempt to terrorize children,” Hezbollah said in a statement carried by the Al Manar network. related to the group.
Thus, Lebanese Islamists have celebrated that this response has caused Israeli planes to have to turn around towards their own border. The Lebanese ANN agency had previously reported that Israeli planes had flown over the south of the country at low altitude.
In addition to launching missiles to disperse the Israeli fighters, Hezbollah has reported that, as a measure in response to this incident and as a sign of its support for the Palestinian population, it has carried out attacks against Israeli territory causing “certain losses.”
Since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip, initiated by the Israeli response to the attacks of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Hezbollah has reiterated its support for the Palestinian population and has opened a front on Israel’s northern border, where the exchange of attacks is common.
In fact, this new incident occurs in a context marked by a new escalation of tensions, even more so after Hezbollah missiles and drones caused a fire in northern Israel. The Israeli authorities, for their part, also seem to have toughened their discourse on a possible war in Lebanon.
