Hezbollah releases video footage of deep cross-border raid after Israeli PM denies casualties - English Subs
- 5 years ago
Following denials by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of any serious casualties and growing media reports that the Israeli army staged casualty evacuations to fool Hezbollah, the Lebanese group released video footage of the military operation it carried out days earlier, revealing what appear to be direct hits on an military armoured vehicle by two Kornet anti-tank missiles.
The video also says that the military operation occurred approximately 1.5 kilometres away from the "Lebanese-Palestinian border", confirming Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's
statements Monday night that his group's unprecedented response marks "a new stage in [our] support for Lebanon’s borders”.
Nasrallah explained that the operation marked a major turning point because it was carried out "deep inside the occupying entity", and also because it struck Israeli targets in previously untouched locations.
Previously, Hezbollah would only target Israelis inside the Shebaa Farms, which Israel has occupied from Lebanon since 1948.
Hezbollah’s cross-border attack came in response to an Israeli air raid last week that killed two of its fighters in Syria, as well as an Israeli drone attack on southern Beirut, which saw the deployed aircraft crashing into the movement’s media offices.
