Hezbollah’s recent escalation is a product of Iran’s ongoing mission to leverage its position amidst the nuclear negotiations and prop up its image domestically.
Hezbollah fired nineteen rockets toward Israel on August 6 in the largest bombardment since the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted ten rockets and six of them landed in open areas while three fell into Lebanese territory. A Hezbollah spokesperson claimed Friday’s attack was in response to Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon the previous day.
