At least 20 rockets were launched by the Israeli military at the Lebanese village of Kfar Shuba in southern Lebanon. There is no word on casualties or property damage, but we will be monitoring the situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border closely today. Attempts by radical Palestinians to launch rockets at Israel are the explanation for the Israeli missiles fired at Lebanon. According to Israel, the Lebanese side has launched at least six missile attacks that have failed.
Residents of several Lebanese villages along the Israeli-Lebanese border are currently being told to evacuate. The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced the assault on Lebanese villages, stressing that it had entered Lebanese airspace with low-flying planes and drones.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Forces announced that 60 Israeli planes targeted 65 Hamas targets in Gaza early Tuesday morning, dropping more than 100 bombs in an effort to destroy additional "Hamas subway" tunnels. The assault began at 3:45 a.m. and lasted for just over 30 minutes.
On the other side of the fence, Hamas launched over 90 rockets at Israel during the night. Twenty of these missiles exploded in Gaza, according to details from a field source. The Israeli Defense Forces claim to have intercepted hundreds of these missiles but do not specify how many.
Hamas fires missiles with larger warheads at Israel.
The Palestinian political-military movement Hamas has begun to be installed on their missiles, according to BulgarianMilitary.com's field sources. Larger warheads, which inflict more serious harm and have the great destructive capacity, have begun to be installed on their missiles. Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] spokesman Jonathan Conricus reported the same information hours later. During an online briefing, he said, “The general trend is larger warheads and increased range.”
Military analysts, on the other hand, believe Hamas's attempt will fail, and the consequences are already clear. Because of the greater volume of the warhead, several missiles fired from Gaza crash into Gaza, rendering them much less powerful than previous Palestinian rockets.
According to official Israeli information, a little more than 2,800 rockets were fired from Gaza in the direction of Israel, with 430 of them exploding in Gaza. More than 20 Palestinians are said to have died as a result of these 430 rockets, according to Israel.
What is going on?
The violence erupted after attention was drawn to contentious judicial and political actions in East Jerusalem's Palestinian-populated Sheikh Jara neighborhood. Initially, an Israeli court ruled that Palestinians should be evicted from the region and replaced with Israelis. A hearing on the eviction was held, but it was postponed because it never ended last Sunday.
Al-Quds and Hamas launched a brief rocket attack on Jerusalem on Monday, May 10, in response to the eviction decision. For the second day in a row, Israel did not comply with the Palestinians, resulting in a retaliatory attack and missile fire between the two countries.
Israel has used fighter jets and tanks in the conflict, according to a field source, and has struck 130 targets in Gaza. The Hamas movement is linked to these objectives. These objectives, according to Israeli officials, are also linked to terrorist groups.
The international community applauds Israeli and Palestinian efforts, but as both sides have said, no compromise will be reached anytime soon.
