Hezbollah responds to Israeli massacre in south Lebanon with rockets on Kiryat Shmona

Hezbollah responds to Israeli massacre in south Lebanon with rockets on Kiryat Shmona

Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets into Israel’s northern Kiryat Shmona settlement on 5 May in response to the Israeli massacre which killed an entire family in south Lebanon that day.

“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in response to the horrific crime committed by the Israeli enemy in the town of Mays al-Jabal and the number of martyrs and wounded civilians, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance bombed on Sunday afternoon, 05/05/2024, the settlement of Kiryat Shmona with dozens of Katyusha and Falaq rockets,” the resistance group said in a statement.

Israeli police said they are dealing with several impact sites and property damage in Kiryat Shmona, according to Hebrew media

A family of four was killed by an Israeli airstrike in the southern Lebanese village of Mays al-Jabal on 5 May.

“The number of martyrs of the Mays al-Jabal massacre has risen to four from one family after the body of a boy was found under the rubble …  two people were injured, including a woman whose condition was described as moderate,” Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported. 

The four have been identified as Fadi Muhammad Khader Hanikah, his wife Maya Ali Ammar, and their two children, 21-year-old Muhammad and 12-year-old Ahmad. 

NNA said the attack resulted in “massive destruction.” 

Hezbollah launched several attacks at Israeli border sites the day before, on Saturday, 4 May, including an artillery attack on Israeli soldiers at the Bayad Blida site. 

On 8 October 2023, a day after the start of the war in Gaza, Hezbollah began attacking Israeli military sites on the border in solidarity with the Palestinians. 

The attacks have continued since then on a daily basis, and Israel has responded with an indiscriminate bombing campaign on southern Lebanese villages. Hezbollah’s operations have resulted in the uprooting of tens of thousands of Israeli settlers from their homes and towns in Israel’s north.

The Lebanese resistance has vowed not to stop attacking Israel until the war in Gaza is brought to an end. US and French-sponsored de-escalation efforts – which mainly focus on pushing Hezbollah away from the border area without any significant concessions from Israel – have failed.
