Let us tell you that the Israeli army carried out a series of air strikes on the bases of Iran-backed organization Hezbollah. In response, Hezbollah fired more than 320 Katyusha rockets from Lebanon towards Israeli territory. Taking responsibility for the shower of missiles and explosive-laden drones, Hezbollah said that it had launched the attack in response to the killing of its military commander Fuad Shukr.
