Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched 50 rockets at northern Israel in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, resulting in casualties on both sides. Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari condemned the attacks on Israeli civilians and vowed to protect the country.
According to Israeli reports, Hezbollah deliberately targeted civilian areas, a departure from previous attacks. The IDF managed to intercept some rockets, but several caused damage to residential buildings and injured a man. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, citing Israeli strikes in Lebanon as the reason.
The Israeli airstrikes in the Beqaa area targeted Hezbollah weapon storage facilities and an aerial defense system. The strikes led to secondary explosions, indicating a significant amount of weapons present. The ongoing conflict highlights the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides suffering casualties.
