Israel confirms its responsibility in bombings against gas stations in Lebanon and argues that they have ties to Hezbollah

The Israeli Army confirmed this Tuesday its responsibility in a series of bombings against gas stations in Lebanon, arguing that these places are property of the Shiite militia party Hezbollah, in the midst of its campaign of attacks and new invasion of the neighboring country.

Thus, he stated in a statement that during the last 24 hours he has launched attacks against gas stations in Al Amana, which he accuses of “being controlled by Hezbollah” and “serving as economic infrastructure for terrorist activities.”

“As part of the attacks, gas stations were destroyed in several areas of Lebanon that Hezboah uses to supply trucks that transport weapons and terrorists,” he said, before highlighting that these facilities “generate millions of dollars” for the group to “finance its activities.”

In this sense, he noted that these attacks “significantly damage Hezbollah’s infrastructure in Lebanon”, adding to the bombings against the Al Qarj al Hasán association, which offers interest-free loans in the form of microcredits and to which Israel also links with the group.

“The Israel Defense Forces (DF) will continue to act forcefully against Hezbollah, which has decided to join the (military) campaign and operate under the auspices of the Iranian regime, and will not allow harm to be caused to the citizens of the State of Israel,” he concluded.

The Lebanese authorities have raised the death toll to more than a thousand due to the wave of bombings and ground operations launched by Israel in response to the firing of projectiles by Hezbollah in revenge for the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the offensive launched on February 28 together with the United States against the Asian country.

Israel had already launched dozens of bombings against Lebanon in recent months despite the ceasefire reached in November 2024, arguing that it is acting against Hezbollah activities and ensuring that, therefore, it does not violate the pact, although both the Lebanese authorities and the group have been critical of these actions, also condemned by the United Nations.
