Halfway between Acre and Nahariyya, two Israeli bases were the target of “a combined air
attack using decoy and explosive drones,” according to a statement released by Hezbollah
on Tuesday. The organisation, sponsored by Iran, claimed that it had acted in retribution
after one of its militants was killed in an earlier Israeli attack. It released what looked to be a
satellite image, with a red circle encircling the flash that represented the attack’s location.
Israel and Iran are experiencing heightened tensions as a result of recent provocations from
Tehran, which prompted a strong warning. Israel’s “mistake” will prompt a “harsher and more
decisive” response from Iran, warned Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani.

Counterattack in Israel
Although the Israeli military had earlier claimed to have intercepted two “aerial targets” off
Israel’s northern shore, it now claimed no knowledge of any of its installations being targeted
by Hezbollah. Later on Tuesday, an Israeli air raid struck a residential neighborhood in the
southern Lebanese town of Hanin, resulting in at least two fatalities and six injuries,
according to Lebanon’s official news agency NNA.
Two Hezbollah fighters were killed by Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, the military
reported early on Tuesday. Later on, Hezbollah acknowledged that their fighter, Hussein
Azkoul, had died, but it gave no further information.
About 50 civilians and 270 Hezbollah fighters have been slain by Israeli strikes since
October. Approximately twelve Israeli soldiers and half as many civilians have died as a
result of Hezbollah’s fire.

Hamas supporting Hezbollah
On Tuesday, October 7, 200 days after the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip began, Abu
Ubaida, the spokesman for Hamas’ armed al-Qassam Brigades, called for an intensification
on all fronts in a televised speech.
Abu Ubaida applauded Iran’s April 13 attack on Israel in a video that was shown by Al
Jazeera TV. He claimed that the direct strikes using explosive drones and dumdums” set
new rules, drew important equations, and confused the adversary and those behind
Across Gaza, Israeli strikes boosted some of the heaviest shelling in weeks, residents
said, and the army ordered fresh evacuations in the north of the strip, advising civilians they
were in a” dangerous combat zone”.
Rockets from northern Iraq were fired on Sunday against a Syrian military facility housing a
coalition under American leadership. The coalition combating ISIS said that after learning of
a failed rocket strike close to a base in northeastern Syria, one of its aircraft in Iraq used a
launcher in self-defense. They claimed that no US soldiers were hurt in the course of the
encounter
