The Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah launched a massive barrage of nearly 200 rockets, missiles, and drones on Thursday at northern Israel, including the Golan Heights and close to the Sea of Galilee.
Hezbollah claimed it was in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of Mohammed Khaasab, whom they gave the title of honorary commander. Though he was killed in Lebanon, Hezbollah said he was martyred on the “road to Jerusalem,” a signal that the group’s ultimate goal is to conquer Jerusalem.
“The series of responses is ongoing and will continue, targeting new sites the enemy never imagined would be hit,” said the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Hashem Safieddine.
The ongoing assault could lead Israel to launch an all-out war on Hezbollah to enable some 80,000 evacuated Israelis back into their homes in the north.
“We know there is still a long way to go, but we are determined to restore security to the north and return the residents safely to their homes,” stated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
