The strike on Ras al-Nabaa killed Hezbollah media relations official Mohammed Afif,

the security source said, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to brief the media

I was asleep and awoke from the sound of the strike, and people screaming, and cars and gunfire,

said Suheil Halabi, who witnessed the strike

The time has come to provide full support for the restoration of the justice system and the law enforcement systems, and to put an end to anarchy, rampage, refusal, and attempts to harm the prime minister,

he said in a statement

Levin should go home with rest of this irresponsible government,

said Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari

What Israel is trying to is diminish the groups’ capabilities on all fronts: Economic, social, political, military,
