Although the Israeli military declined to comment, Hezbollah accused Israel of orchestrating the seemingly coordinated strike.
Due to the war in Gaza, cross-border combat between Israel and Hezbollah has increased dramatically during the last 11 months.
The blasts occurred just hours after Israel’s security cabinet said that the safe return of tens of thousands of internally displaced citizens to the country’s north was a new goal of the Gaza war.
The most potent military in Lebanon is under the political authority of Hezbollah, a Shia Muslim organization.
Iran, the most powerful Shia nation in the area, founded it in the early 1980s in opposition to Israel. During the country’s civil war, Israel’s forces had taken control of southern Lebanon at the time.
Since its participation in the 1992 national elections, Hezbollah has grown to be a significant political force.
Its armed branch has attacked US and Israeli forces in Lebanon with terrible results. Hezbollah claimed credit for driving Israeli forces out of Lebanon in 2000, the year of their withdrawal.
