Beirut, Jan 6 (Prensa Latina) Israeli fighter planes unlawfully bombed with white phosphorus, internationally banned, certain localities in southern Lebanon.

At the same time, an Israel´s spy balloon overflew the front of the town of Rmeish in southern Lebanon.

In this context, the Lebanese Resistance (Hezbollah) attacked at dawn the Israeli base Meron as an initial response to the assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri, Deputy Head of the Hamas Political Bureau in the southern suburbs of Lebanon´s capital.

In a statement, Hezbollah announced the launching of 62 missiles over the strategic air control facility located at the top of Mount Kharmaq.
