Hezbollah launches missile attack on Israel in Golan heights

Hezbollah's Shiite militia has launched a significant missile attack on Israel Defense Forces (IDF) positions in the Golan Heights.

Over 50 shells from multiple rocket launch systems targeted areas in the Golan territory and the Galilee salient, prompting air raid alerts in Kibbutz Dafna, Snir, and Shear Yashuv, Caliber.Az reports citing the foreign media.

Hezbollah's operation was a response to an Israeli Air Force raid on the Burj Al-Muluk settlement in southern Lebanon, which resulted in injuries to four civilians.

Israel and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group based in Lebanon, have a complex and contentious relationship marked by periodic escalations and conflicts.

The relationship between Israel and Hezbollah deteriorated significantly following Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000 and the 2006 Lebanon War. The conflict erupted when Hezbollah launched a cross-border raid into Israel, resulting in a month-long war that caused significant casualties and destruction on both sides.
