Video appears to show IDF strike in Lebanon next to Hezbollah funeral

A video posted to social media appears to show an IDF strike on southern Lebanon right next to a funeral service for a Hezbollah member.

Israel has warned it will no longer tolerate the presence of the terror group along the northern frontier after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, in which some 3,000 terrorists burst into Israel from Gaza, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping over 240, mostly civilians.

Since that date, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis.

So far, the skirmishes on the border, which have intensified sharply since Hamas’s devastating attack, have resulted in four civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of seven IDF soldiers. There have also been a number of rocket attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

On the Lebanese side, more than 120 have been killed. The toll includes 111 Hezbollah members — some of whom were killed in Syria — 16 Palestinian terrorists, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 17 civilians, three of whom are journalists.
