Lebanon’s Islamic organization Hezbollah has vowed revenge after Israel killed top Hamas terrorist Saleh Arouri in Beirut. Therefore, Hezbollah has intensified its attacks on Israel. On Saturday, Hezbollah fired 62 rockets at Israel. This is being said to be the initial counterattack after Israel’s assassination of top Hamas leader Arouri in Lebanon’s capital Beirut. Hezbollah leader Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah had said a day earlier that his group would retaliate over the killing of Hamas deputy political leader Saleh Arouri.
Nasrallah had said that if Hezbollah did not retaliate against Arouri’s killing in its stronghold of southern Beirut, all Lebanese could become victims of an Israeli attack. Hezbollah said Saturday that it fired 62 rockets toward an air observation base in Mount Meron, hitting the target directly. The Israeli military said about 40 rockets were fired toward the Meron area, although it did not specify the base.
