Retaliation for the death of a citizen in Baalbeck after an attack by Israel
In a statement collected by AFP, Hezbollah justified the launch of “more than a hundred katiusha rockets” against two Israeli military installations in the golan plateau “in response to Israel's attacks against our people and our cities, the most recent near the city of Baalbeck, where a citizen was killed.”
Israeli aircraft bombed the area from which the attacks were recorded, destroying three of the launchers with which most of the shots had been fired.
