Video: Hizbullah has released a video showing its attack
on the northern border Monday afternoon, after five of its members were killed in fighting with IDF troops.
Hizbullah attack on the north
In the most severe coordinated attack launched by Hizbullah since the IDF's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, 12 civilians and soldiers were injured, among them an officer and soldier who sustained moderate injuries.
The attack began close to 15:00 in the afternoon, when a heavy barrage of mortars and Kaytusha rockets was fired at IDF positions on Mount Dov, the village of Rajar, and the surrounding area.
The residents of Kiryat Shmona, Metula, Nahariya, and surrounding regions were ordered into bomb shelters for the first time since the 2000 withdrawal.
In response the Air Force launched strikes
on Hizbullah positions in southern Lebanon where the mortar and rocket fire came from.
