ISRAELI : At least 18 casualties have been reported in the northern Israeli town of Arab al-Aramshe following an attack on 17 April by the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah on a building that reportedly served as the headquarters of a “newly created military reconnaissance company.”
Hezbollah said in a statement that the attack was launched in retaliation for the assassination of three of its commanders by the Israeli army on Tuesday.
“In response to the enemy’s assassination of several resistance fighters in Ain Baal and Shehabiya, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance launched … a combined attack with guided missiles and assault drones on the headquarters of the new military reconnaissance company in Arab al-Aramshe in the so-called ‘community center,’ directly hitting it and leaving its members dead or wounded,” the Hezbollah statement reads.
Israeli media reports say one of those wounded is in “critical condition,” and four others remain in “serious condition.” According to Tel Aviv, the Hezbollah attack hit “a community center.”
The attack on Arab al-Aramshe was the seventh operation launched by Hezbollah on Wednesday, having earlier hit the area surrounding the Branit Barracks several times, as well as the Meron Air Control Center and Israeli troops stationed in the vicinity of the Ramya site.
According to an AFP tally, since 8 October, Israel has killed at least 368 people in Lebanon, mainly Hezbollah fighters but also at least 70 civilians. For its part, the Lebanese resistance has killed over 200 Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah launched daily attacks on Israeli military sites starting on 8 October in support of the Palestinian resistance and the people of Gaza. The resistance faction has vowed to continue its attacks until the genocide in Gaza is brought to an end, despite western-mediated de-escalation efforts.
Washington and Paris have been trying to pressure Lebanon into a de-escalation agreement involving Hezbollah’s withdrawal from the border area. The proposed deal draws no significant concessions from Israel and has been described as one-sided and impartial by Lebanese officials.
