Hezbollah Launches Retaliatory Rockets After ******* Appears to Strike in Syria

An apparent ******** drone strike in Syria on Tuesday prompted the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah to respond with rocket ***** into the ********-occupied Golan Heights, the group said, an ******* that ******* two people as fears continued to mount over the threat of a full-scale war.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it had targeted an ******** military base as a direct response to what it called an “**************” in Syria earlier in the day. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, reported on Tuesday that two Hezbollah members had been ******* in an ******** drone strike on their vehicle close to the Lebanese border. The driver of the vehicle, a Syrian national, was also injured in the strike, the war monitor said.

Neither Hezbollah nor the ******** military said whether anyone had been ******* in the strike, and ******* had not claimed responsibility by Tuesday night. But the ******** military has ramped up airstrikes in Syria since the war began in Gaza last year — often targeting Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups who have entrenched themselves across the country.

The ******** police said that a man and woman were ******* in the Hezbollah rocket barrage that followed and that ***** crews were working to extinguish several blazes that broke out in the area. It was not immediately clear if the victims were civilians or active-duty soldiers.

The ******** military said a total of 40 projectiles had been launched across the Lebanese border into the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau bordering Syria that ******* annexed nearly 60 years ago.

The latest ****-for-tat strikes between Hezbollah and ******* came amid intensifying efforts by the Biden administration to contain the conflict and prevent an all-out war. Still, numerous rounds of shuttle diplomacy have ******* to quell rising tensions, with Hezbollah stressing repeatedly that ********* will continue along *******’s northern border as long as the war in Gaza persists.

Hezbollah began ******* into northern ******* in solidarity with the ******-led ******* on Oct. 7 that precipitated the war in Gaza. More than 150,000 Israelis and Lebanese have so far been forced to flee their homes along the border, with no indication of when they may be able to return.
