Lebanon's Hezbollah announced that it had used multiple rockets to attack Israel's military headquarters in northern Israel on the 12th. The Israel Defense Forces said that about 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, and some rockets landed in open areas. No casualties were reported so far, and the Israeli army subsequently retaliated.Report sent back by CCTV reporters from Lebanon.

Hezbollah: This attack is a response to previous Israeli attacks

CCTV reporter Ci Xiaoning: At about 2 a.m. local time on August 12, the Western Galilee region in northern Israel was attacked by multiple rockets from Lebanon. Since Hezbollah in Lebanon had previously stated that it would launch a large-scale retaliatory military operation against Israel, people initially speculated whether this was the beginning of a large-scale military operation by Hezbollah in Lebanon. But then Hezbollah in Lebanon issued a statement saying,The attack came in response to an Israeli attack on southern Lebanon the day before.


CGTN reporter Ci Xiaoning: On July 30, a house in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was attacked by an Israeli drone. It can be confirmed that Shukur, an important Lebanese military commander, was killed in the attack. Subsequently, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah made two speeches, the second of which was on August 6. Nasrallah made it clear that Hezbollah's response was coming soon. The response might be a single action or a military action after coordination with other local organizations. Subsequently, there were many speculations about when and how Hezbollah would respond. My station also received various gossips every day.

Israeli military aircraft have flown over Beirut several times in recent days


CGTN reporter Ci Xiaoning: In addition, there is a phenomenon worth noting, that is, the Israeli Defense Forces' military aircraft have flown over Lebanon many times before, especially over the south, breaking the sound barrier and causing loud noises.Since this month, IDF aircraft have spent several days flying over the Lebanese capital Beirut, breaking the sound barrier and causing loud noises. One of the times was 15 minutes before the speech of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah on August 6. Israeli military aircraft flew over Beirut in two batches at low altitudes, and I also heard several loud noises at that time. Lebanese military analysts said that this situation generally has two meanings. The first is to deter the real party, that is, to show that Lebanon's air supremacy is in the hands of the IDF; the second is to test the deployment of Hezbollah's radar system in Lebanon.
