In the early hours of Sunday, civil defense sirens blared in several cities in northern Israel as Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets across the border, activating interceptors in the region. The Israel Defense Forces reported approximately 10 launches from Lebanese territory, with most projectiles being intercepted. One rocket fell in the Nazareth area, but there were no immediate casualties.
This escalation is the latest in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with the militant group supporting Hamas in Gaza. The IDF retaliated by striking around 180 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, destroying launcher barrels aimed at Israeli civilians. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed to continue operations until the safety of Israel’s northern communities is restored.
The attacks have drawn condemnation from UN officials, as well as from Russia and China, branding them as indiscriminate. As tensions rise, the situation remains volatile in the region. Stay updated by following RT News on social media for the latest developments.
