Hezbollah positions in Lebanon become the scene of the Israel war
First report from February 5th: Tel Aviv/Beirut – While Israel's army (IDF) is fighting Hamas in Gaza, there are also increased tensions on the northern border with Lebanon. Israel's military said it attacked a Hezbollah military facility there. The army announced late on Sunday evening that warplanes had attacked a Shiite militia command center and a military compound in the city of Yaron. In addition, an observation post in the city of Marun ar-Ras was attacked. The information could not initially be independently verified.
The army did not say whether there were any casualties. Hezbollah and Israel's armed forces had previously fought again in the border area. According to army spokesman Daniel Hagari, three troop divisions were moved to the northern border. A war is not Israel's first priority, “but we are definitely prepared.”
Hezbollah is currently firing repeatedly from the buffer zone that was set up in the border area after the end of the second Lebanon war in 2006. Israel's army responds with counterattacks. According to army spokesman Hagari, the armed forces have targeted more than 3,400 Hezbollah positions since the start of the Gaza war. More than 200 terrorists were “eliminated”. Hezbollah is considered to be significantly more powerful than Hamas in Gaza.
No agreement on a ceasefire in the Israel war: Hamas discusses proposal
Meanwhile, there is still no agreement in the negotiations about a new ceasefire and the release of further hostages. Hamas has a proposal recently negotiated in Paris by the United States, Egypt and Qatar that calls for the gradual release of the hostages in return for a longer ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners. A representative announced that they would comment on this soon, but discussions were still ongoing internally. The Israeli side, however, is said to have already accepted the draft framework.
