Three weeks of intense Israeli strikes and other attacks in Lebanon have killed more than 1,400 people, including 22 on Sunday, and displaced another 1.2 million, according to Lebanese authorities.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah – a Shia Islamist political, military and social organisation that wields considerable power in Lebanon – has remained defiant despite suffering a series of devastating blows in recent weeks, including the killing of its leader and most of its top military commanders.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the group insisted it was \u201cconfident… in the ability of our resistance to oppose the Israeli aggression\u201d.<\/p>\n
It came hours after Hezbollah rockets struck the northern Israeli port city of Haifa and the town of Tiberias, causing damage and nine injuries.<\/p>\n
Another 135 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Monday, according to the IDF. Police said a road was damaged in the Lower Galilee region between Haifa and Tiberias.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s government – which designates Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation – has pledged to make it safe for tens of thousands of displaced residents to return to their homes near the Lebanese border after a year of cross-border fighting sparked by the Gaza war.<\/p>\n
The hostilities have escalated steadily since Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel in support of Palestinians on 8 October 2023, the day after its ally Hamas\u2019s deadly attack on southern Israel.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting on Monday that the \u201ccounterattack on our enemies in Iran’s axis of evil is necessary for securing our future and ensuring our security\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
