Sirens sounded in northern Israel at 8:11 a.m. on May 1 in the communities of Al-Kosh, Matat, Netua, Fassuta, and Hurfeish. It is relatively rare to have sirens in Hurfeish, a large Druze town in northern Israel. Israel has evacuated most of the communities along the border, but Druze and Arab citizens generally have not evacuated their villages and towns near the border. Hezbollah has targeted the Arab Bedouin community of Arab al-Aramshe in April, wounding 14 soldiers. Hezbollah often claims to target soldiers in its attacks. Last week, Hezbollah killed an Israeli civilian who was working in the Mount Dov area.
Terrorists in Lebanon also claimed to have attacked an area near Metulla on Tuesday, April 30. No sirens were heard in the area, but Al-Mayadeen media, parroting Hezbollah, claimed that the terrorist group targeting “buildings where occupation soldiers were stationed.” The IDF said that “over the last few hours, launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into the area of Metulla in northern Israel. As a result, damage was caused in the area. No injuries were reported. In response, the IDF struck the sources of fire.”
The IDF also said overnight that it had responded to the recent Hezbollah attacks over the last days. “Overnight, IAF fighter jets struck Hezbollah terror targets in the areas of Khiam and Kfarkela in southern Lebanon, including observation posts and terrorist infrastructure. In addition, the IDF struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure and a military structure in the area of Blida in southern Lebanon, as well as terrorist infrastructure and observation posts in the areas of Odaisseh and Meiss El Jabal,” the IDF said.
