This morning, fighting continues, as it has for months, between Israeli and Hezbollah forces along the Lebanese Israeli border. Take a look. That is dramatic video of outgoing Hezbollah rocket fire from Lebanon into the occupied Golan Heights. Now, following the attack the group Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, they issued a statement declaring its support of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Now Israel has already retaliated in the hours since that Hezbollah strike, hitting Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. And Lebanon is where we find our senior international correspondent Ben Wiedemann, who joins me now from Beirut. So. Ben in that statement about its support for the Palestinian people, Hezbollah appears to be making clear that its actions have to do with the war in Gaza. And are independent of Iran’s attack on Israel. Yeah, the beginning of that statement is really the standard statement that Hezbollah puts out every time it launches strikes against Israel. And we know that from speaking with sources very close to Hezbollah. And we heard in a speech from Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of the Hezbollah himself, that the response to the Israeli strike on the diplomatic complex in Damascus belonging to the Iranians on the 1st of April would be. Iranian Now, it’s interesting that the, I think the video that you just showed was Katyusha rockets being fired by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon toward air and missile defense positions. Belonging to the Israelis on the Golan Heights, which might indicate that they were trying to disable those as the Iranian strikes were taking place nonetheless. What we’re seeing is that this is what and certainly today is really a continuation of the back and forth between Hezbollah and Israel that we’ve seen since the 8th of October.
