Washington, Oct. 13 (Adnkronos) – While Israel says it has hit 200 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in the last 24 hours and killed dozens of militants, the Red Cross reports that several paramedics, engaged in a rescue mission, were injured in a raid.

In particular, the Israel Defense Forces reported, the 36th Division conducted air strikes that destroyed rocket launchers, anti-tank positions, command posts and weapons depots.

The Red Cross, for its part, speaks of several rescuers injured in an attack that hit a house where they had been sent "in coordination" with Unifil. "While the team was searching for victims to rescue, the house was hit for the second time, injuring the rescuers and causing damage to two ambulances."

Hezbollah claims to have clashed twice with Israeli troops near the village of Ramiya, on the border between southern Lebanon and Israel. The group says the clashes lasted an hour. The IDF has not confirmed this.

The Israeli army reported five rockets fired from Lebanon toward Haifa. The alarm was sounded in the northern city and other nearby communities. According to the IDF, all five rockets were intercepted by air defenses and no injuries were reported.

An Israeli raid conducted overnight against southern Lebanon left at least five dead and a mosque destroyed. Lebanese security sources reported this, cited by the newspaper L'Orient le Jour, according to which the attack targeted the village of Kfar Tebnit, where, in addition to the mosque, several houses were also hit.

The NNA news agency reported that other Israeli raids were conducted against the villages of Tyre and Bint Jbeil and the localities of Dahaira, Alma AlShaab and Naqura.

Israel has reportedly decided to strike Iranian military and energy infrastructure in response to the October 1 missile attack, while there are no indications that nuclear sites will be among the targets or that it will conduct targeted assassinations. This was revealed by NBC, which cites American officials, according to whom Israel has not yet made a final decision on when to act. The same sources say they have no information indicating that the response will arrive today, but, specifying that Israel does not share the possible timing with Israel, they do not rule out that the response could also arrive during the Yom Kippur holiday, which ends in the next few hours.

Iran rejects as "false" the revelations that Hamas tried to implicate it in the October 7 attack and was therefore aware of the "Al Aqsa Flood" operation. In a statement cited by the Irna news agency, the Iranian representation at the UN said that the ".

“While Doha-based Hamas officials themselves have stated that they too were unaware of the operation and that all planning, decision-making and direction was carried out exclusively by Hamas's Gaza-based military wing, any claims attempting to link the operation to Iran or Hezbollah – in whole or in part – are devoid of credibility and come from falsified documents,” the mission said in a statement.

According to the American newspaper, which cites files seized by the Israeli army, Hamas planned to attack Israel as early as 2022, but postponed the operation in order to try to gain support from Tehran and Hezbollah in the meantime.
