The Israeli military launched rare airstrikes into Lebanon early Friday morning, just hours after it struck opposition targets in the Gaza Strip. 

Both series of attacks were in retaliation after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired rockets into southern Israel. Later, another volley of rockets was fired from Lebanon into Northern Israel.

The rocket fire further escalated from initial violence at a Jerusalem holy site this week.

The Israeli military did not provide information about its intended targets in Lebanon but said it targeted tunnels and weapon sites in the Gaza Strip.

A Lebanese TV station reported explosions in the southern port city of Tyre. The town is located about 20 miles from Israel’s northern border.

The Israeli military did not provide any further details.

The current round of violence began Wednesday during an incident at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City, where hundreds of worshipers gathered.

Israel’s police said agitators used rocks and fireworks, causing a disturbance at the site. They also barricaded themselves in the structure, police said.

The Israeli officers raided the mosque and arrested more than 350 people. 

Some Palestinians disputed the series of events and said the police raid caused the current violence.

The Wednesday raid led to rocket fire from Gaza on Thursday. And, in a significant escalation, a barrage of nearly three dozen rockets was fired from Lebanon into northern Israel.

The fighting comes amid a backdrop of religious sensitivity for both Muslims and Jewish people as celebrations for the Passover holiday and the Ramadan holy month are underway. The exchange of blows also comes as a similar escalation in 2021 spilled over into an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas, a terrorist group that governs Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his Security Cabinet Thursday as the Israeli military struck four sites in Gaza belonging to Hamas.

After the hours-long meeting, Netanyahu’s office released a statement suggesting attacks would be made.

"Israel’s response, tonight and beyond, will extract a heavy price from our enemies," Netanyahu said. He did not elaborate.

"The (Israeli Defense Forces) will not allow the Hamas terrorist organization to operate from within Lebanon and holds the state of Lebanon responsible for every directed fire emanating from its territory," the Israeli military said in a statement, Reuters reported.

The most recent airstrikes came after militants in Lebanon firing some 34 rockets into Israel, forcing air sirens across Israel’s northern frontier as people sought safety in bomb shelters. The attacks wounded at least two people.

Fox News host Sean Hannity blasted President Biden's blame game after the release of the administration's new report on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

SEAN HANNITY: August 29, 2021. You might remember, Joe Biden probably does not recall. He does not know that today is Thursday. But, however, what happened on that day, we will never forget. That is the day that the remains of 13 U.S. service members that were killed in that suicide bombing near the Kabul airport arrived at Dover Airfield for a dignified transfer. Now, President Joe Biden was standing on the tarmac, remember checking his watch again, again and again. So insulting, embarrassing, multiple times, pretty disgraceful. But it was the culmination of Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and frankly, one of the most shameful, humiliating moments in American history. We have a few new ones, a Chinese spy balloon and the drone shot out of the sky. We'll get to that.

BIDEN ADMIN DRAGGED FOR BLAMING BOTCHED AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL ON TRUMP: ‘DISGRACEFUL AND INSULTING’ 

…

According to Biden, Biden did nothing wrong. He accepts no responsibility, frankly, for anything. Now he's learned nothing at all. Also, and it's really important, you know, not to assign blame here. Well, except for all the times that the report blamed Donald Trump, they kept blaming Donald Trump. He wasn't president during the chaotic withdrawal. Not a single American was killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan in combat in the last 18 months when Donald Trump was president. And meanwhile, Joe Biden had been sworn in for six months when he ordered this withdrawal. But according to the administration's findings, it's all Donald Trump's fault. And during the transition from the Trump administration to the Biden administration, the outgoing administration provided, they say, no plan for how to conduct the final withdrawal. In other words, how could Joe Biden ever possibly come up with his own plan before ordering the withdrawal? Maybe that's too much to ask from your commander in chief. Now, the report also accuses Trump of emboldening the Taliban and not leaving enough troops for Biden to pull out. Also, you could have put some back in. And as for the billions in military equipment that Joe left behind, billions and billions of it for the Taliban, well, that's Biden's fault. Apparently not. Take a look. In looking through this, it doesn't seem to address the $7 billion in military hardware and technology.
