They said Shiite Muslim guerrillas of Hezbollah, or Party of God, fired 12 Katyusha rockets, 12 Sagger anti-tank missiles and a number of rocket-propelled grenades at the outpost in Tallousa, a village in the center of the Israeli-occupied zone along the border.
Hezbollah said the attack was to mark the birthday of Imam Ali, the most revered saint of the Shiite sect and the son-in-law of Prophet Mohammed, founder of Islam.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
