Hizbullah’s actions were in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their resistance, and as a response to “Israel” killings and attacks against the peoples of southern Lebanon, especially the localities of Naqoura, Hannawiye, Kafr Kila and Aita al-Shaab.

In parallel, Israeli warplanes attacked the area between Kafr Kila and Deir Mimas, and artillery shelled the town of Mais al-Jabal.
