Israel struck Iran-backed Hezbollah positions in Lebanon on Sunday in response to rocket and mortar attacks on its northern border in the second day of fending off Islamist militants.

UN peacekeepers on Sunday said they detected several rockets fired from southeast Lebanon toward Israeli-occupied territory and artillery fire from Israel to Lebanon in response.

Analysts fear the northern front will open into a full-scale military operation, forcing the Israeli Defence Forces to tackle a multi-front war. “Iran has a deliberate strategy, long in the planning and execution, of surrounding Israel with a ring of fire on multiple fronts — none more dangerous than Israel’s northern border with Iran-backed Hezbollah. That has forced the IDF to allocate its limited resources to the northern border, Syria, and the West Bank as Iran-directed violence has heightened in recent months,” Mark Dubowitz, the think tank’s CEO, said in a statement.

Israeli media is reporting at least 600 deaths from the terror attacks in Gaza while the Israeli Defense Forces reported Sunday that it had killed more than 400 Palestinian terrorists since the start of the war.
