03:26The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) mobilised three reserve battalions in the northern region of Qiryat Shemona on Saturday following the confirmation of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike.
Footage captured during this time shows smoke rising from bombed areas and rockets being launched, highlighting the escalating tensions between Lebanon and Israel. Trucks transporting military vehicles were also observed in the region.
The IDF stated that this mobilization was aimed at bolstering defences in the Central Command area, particularly in light of the upcoming Jewish holidays, a period known for heightened tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Later that day, the IDF released a statement detailing that they had conducted airstrikes targeting over 140 Hezbollah-affiliated sites overnight, claiming that the strikes resulted in the death of Nasrallah. Hezbollah confirmed the loss of their leader in the airstrike, along with other unnamed figures.
The bombardment of Beirut's southern suburbs reportedly continued, marking the sixth day of intensified fighting between Hezbollah and Israel. Strikes were also reported in southern regions and the Bekaa Valley, reflecting the ongoing conflict and rising hostilities in the area.
On Monday, the IDF announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these attacks have resulted in more than 1,030 deaths and left 6,300 people injured.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
