Israelis blame Hezbollah for fire on northern border

The Iranian-funded Lebanese terror group is often seen operating on the border with their faces covered, witnesses in Israel report

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers claimed Hezbollah operatives set a fire on the Israel-Lebanon border, causing damage to a kiwifruit farm, according to Walla! News.

According to the same soldiers, Hezbollah operatives were regularly seen operating on the border with their faces covered, making it more difficult for tracking and identification. In addition, it was said that the Lebanese terror group carefully documented the IDF’s activities in the area.

The report by Walla! News also revealed that Hezbollah operatives were at the border fence on Sunday night, cutting a hole in it. The Iranian-funded terror group has been carrying out similar operations in recent weeks, as part of which they’ve stolen security cameras and other items, caused damage, and even fired explosives, such as rockets, anti-tank missiles, and fireworks.

At the end of previous week, on Friday, the IDF’s Intelligence Division admitted that Iran and Hezbollah were closely monitoring turmoil in Israel over the judicial reforms, seeing a moment of historic weakness for the Jewish state.

The terror group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Saturday warned Israeli leaders to “beware of any foolishness” in attacking Lebanon or Hezbollah, saying his operatives “will be ready, without hesitation, to confront any mistake or foolishness.”

On July 17, Hezbollah released a six-minute propaganda video, which simulated an attack on an Israeli military base on the northern border with Lebanon, showing off its elite Radwan commando unit. This was part of the terror group’s commemoration of 17 years since the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
