Rockets<\/a> fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization hit a southern Lebanese Church on the night between Thursday and Friday, the IDF<\/a> announced on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Footage provided by the military shows the Saint George’s Orthodox Church, located in the Christian village of Marjaayoun, being hit by at least one projectile, while other projectiles hit nearby areas.<\/p>\n

The IDF<\/a> emphasized that none of its soldiers were operating in the area when the attack occured.<\/p>\n

“This incident further proves how Hezbollah continues to endanger and harm Lebanese civilians,” the military said.<\/p>\n

The attack comes after a poll first published by the Lebanese news outlet Al-Jadeed on May 18 found that a majority of Lebanese civilians support<\/a> disarming Hezbollah, following Beirut\u2019s decision to legislate an arms ban for non-state actors.<\/p>\n

According to the data, a slight majority of 58% supported taking away Hezbollah\u2019s military capabilities, while 34% were opposed.<\/p>\n

89% of Orthodox Christians, 87% of Maronites, and 77% of Druze said they supported Hezbollah’s disarmament.<\/p>\n

Lebanon’s Muslim population largely disagreed, with 88% of Shi’ites opposing disarmament, as well as 70% of Sunni respondents.<\/p>\n
