JOSSICA - jossica.comIsrael responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas, including a weapons depot, and hit operatives moving weaponry in Kfar Remen. Reports that civilians were harmed are under review.
In a separate response to Sunday’s drone attack, the IDF killed several Hezbollah members in Nabatieh.
Additionally, the IDF struck terrorists who were identified transferring weapons in the area of Kfar Reman, in order to remove the threat they posed.
The strikes were in response to Hezbollah’s launch of 2 explosive drones toward IDF troops in the Security Zone.
The attack comes amid a significant escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis since July. Saudi airstrikes on Houthi positions and the Houthis’ subsequent attacks on Saudi territory have increasingly focused on energy infrastructure and maritime traffic.
The Houthis declared a blockade of Saudi linked shipping in the Red Sea in July and have claimed attacks against Saudi oil tankers, military targets and energy facilities. On August 9, the group claimed an attack on the Jizan refinery, where a fire was reported and later extinguished.
The escalation has also spread into Yemen, with Saudi backed forces and the Houthis engaged in increasingly heavy fighting along the western coast. Recent clashes have raised concerns that the fragile 2022 ceasefire could be collapsing altogether.
A second apparent strike on Jizan would mark another step in the widening Houthi-Saudi confrontation, particularly as the group continues to target Saudi energy infrastructure and shipping.
