The militant group Hezbollah took responsibility Friday for targeting Israeli military posts with small-arms fire along the country’s border with Lebanon, and the Israelis responded with artillery strikes.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a tweet that one of its drones is “currently striking terrorist targets belonging to Hezbollah in Lebanon.”
The back and forth comes as Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Kassem said at a rally near Beirut on Friday that the group is ready to jump into the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“The behind-the-scenes calls with us by great powers, Arab countries, envoys of the United Nations, directly and indirectly telling us not to interfere will have no effect,” he said, according to Reuters. “Hezbollah knows its duties perfectly well. We are prepared and ready, fully ready.”
