Israel-Hamas war day 333: What happened in Gaza and Lebanon?

The IAF struck approximately 10 Hezbollah launchers on Monday night, the IDF announced shortly after. 

The launchers, in the areas of Zibqin and Chihine in southern Lebanon, posed an immediate threat to the civilian population of Israel, the military said. 

Additionally, Hezbollah observation posts in the area of Houla in southern Lebanon were struck.

Following the strikes, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israeli territory toward the area of Arab al-Aramshe. Some of these projectiles were intercepted while others fell in open areas. 

No injuries were reported. 

Yemen's Houthis in a statement on Monday claimed responsibility for targeting the Blue Lagoon vessel in the Red Sea.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu keeps on saying what will not bring about a hostage deal but will not say what is necessary to make a hostage deal happen, according to Eli Elbag, father of Liri Elbag, one of the IDF observation soldiers taken hostage on October 7.

Elbag, speaking to Channel 12 News at the mass protests in Tel Aviv that swept over the country on Monday after six hostage bodies were found in the Gaza Strip less than a week after being murdered by Hamas.

“Look at the nation,” Elbag said. “What more does Bibi want? Does he want us to pour from an oil can and burn ourselves? What does he want, that we burn the buildings? What more does he want?”
