Hezbollah claims to have targeted Israeli 'radar site'

Hezbollah claimed on Saturday to have targeted an Israeli radar site on Mount Dov. The claim was made to pro-Iranian al-Mayadeen media.

These types of claims occur daily, with Hezbollah often asserting it has targeted IDF troops, bases, and various key sites in northern Israel. The Lebanese-based terrorist group attacks Israel every day, often along the border in areas from where it knows Israel has evacuated civilians.

On May 4, Hezbollah said it struck at a radar site in “Sheba’a Farms,” which is its name for Mount Dov. The military said that “earlier today, an anti-tank missile launch was identified toward the area of Shtula, as well as two launches toward the area of Mount Hermon. The IDF struck the source of the fire.”

The army also said that Israeli warplanes had struck a “Hezbollah military structure in the area of Tayr Harfa in southern Lebanon. Throughout today, IDF artillery fired to remove threats in the areas of Naqoura, Marwahin, Hanine, and Matmoura in southern Lebanon. Additionally, an IDF tank fired toward a military structure in which terrorist activity was identified in the area of Kfarkela.”

"Spy equipment" targeted in Hezbollah campaign

Hezbollah said, in the Al-Mayadeen report, that it had targeted “spy equipment” in the border area atop a hill that it calls “Al-Raheb” near Shtula. This area is opposite the town of Ayta ash-Shab in Lebanon, the report claimed. In addition, the terrorist group said it targeted IDF soldiers near Tel Qadesh across from the Lebanese village of Blida. It also attacked Metulla, Hezbollah claimed, as well as Shtula, which is on the border and has been frequently targeted.

Hezbollah also said it had been monitoring Israeli media and that Israeli reports have recently shed light on major damage done to communities such as Metulla.

This pleases the terrorist group, which believes it has almost total control of its side of the border area and can attack wherever it wants along the border without major repercussions and without its terrorist forces being pre-emptively targeted.

Recent reports at Ynet in Israel have noted that there continue to be discussions about how best to stop the seemingly endless conflict in the North and return Israeli residents to the border.
