Times of Israel: 3 rockets fired from Lebanon at Israel; IDF responds with 3 rounds of shelling 

Sirens sound in Kiryat Shmona as 2 missiles hit outside city, sparking fire; 4 people treated for anxiety; Israel said to assess that armed Palestinian groups are behind attack 

Three rockets were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon Wednesday shortly after noon, causing warning sirens to sound in the Kiryat Shmona area. 

Two rockets hit open areas, while the third fell short of the border. 

There were no reports of casualties in the attack, though the Magen David Adom emergency medical service treated four people for anxiety attacks. 

In response, the Israel Defense Forces fired artillery shells at targets in Lebanon just after the attack. 

Some two hours later it followed up with a second and a third round.

Obviously, rockets and shells cost money. Israel has a functioning economy. Lebanon does not. So how is Hezbollah able to play this game of theirs?

The Palestinians actually fired the rockets. Question was did they buy them or were they given them by Hezbollah?

Hezbollah does siphon money off of the government, collects its own taxes and gets money from Iran.


"The government of Lebanon seeks an international bailout to save its financial system, which will require an estimated $93 billion rescue.1 The amount needed is astronomical. But even if a rescue were feasible, other systemic challenges remain. Lebanon’s financial system is rife with illicit finance. It is a conduit for money laundering schemes that fund Hezbollah and its nefarious activities, generating billions of dollars per year for the terrorist group."
