Israeli authorities did not immediately confirm or deny the claims.\n\n

Israel's reaction

\n\nThe office of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was quick to react to the statements of the Hezbollah. According to a statement carried by Israeli media, the Israeli government warned Hezbollah and the Lebanese government against any future attacks, saying Israel would retaliate with force.\n\n

Context of the escalation of tensions

The UN and several countries have called on both parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire in force since 2006. \n\nIn conclusion, the situation between Hezbollah and Israel remains tense and could deteriorate rapidly if further attacks take place. Hezbollah's claims regarding the launch of “more than sixty rockets” mark a significant escalation that could lead to a new military confrontation between the two sides. \n\n
