Associated PressBEIRUT — Hezbollah vowed Wednesday to intensify its attacks along the Lebanon-Israel border to avenge the killing of its most senior military commander by Israel since the latest round of violence began eight months ago.
Earlier Wednesday, Hezbollah fired a massive barrage of rockets into northern Israel, further escalating tensions as the fate of an internationally backed plan for a cease-fire in Gaza hung in the balance. "It is natural that Abu Taleb was a permanent target," Saffieddine said, adding that Abdullah had taken part in Hezbollah's military operations including the 34-day Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006.
The Israeli strike on Tuesday destroyed a house where Abdullah and three other officials were meeting, about 10 kilometers from the border. The Israeli military said the attack was part of a strike on a Hezbollah command and control center used to direct attacks against Israel in recent months. The official, who was not authorized to speak to media and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Abdullah had joined Hezbollah decades ago and took part in attacks against Israeli forces during their 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in May 2000.
