NORTHERN ISRAEL – While Israel is battling Hamas, another terrorist threat is rising in the north. The Iranian proxy militia Hezbollah has been repeatedly launching rocket and missile strikes against Israelis from Lebanon. One of the worst attacks occurred on December 26th.
An ancient Christian village is the most recent target as hostilities keep intensifying at the Israeli-Lebanese frontier. Hezbollah missiles struck Saint Mary's Greek Orthodox Church in the village of Iqrit, wounding 10 people. The first missile wounded an 80-year-old man, and when the IDF went in to assist, a second missile wounded nine soldiers.
Lt. Col. Sarit Zehavi, with the Alma Research and Education Center, said, "The church, it's on a hill and actually visible from Lebanon. It's a very known spot and a symbol in the community. The fact that it was targeted shows a clear message from the attackers."
