In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Hezbollah launched 15 rockets from southern Lebanon towards Kiryat Shmona, a northern Israeli town. The attack, which Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for, caused significant property damage and triggered multiple fires in the area. The IDF intercepted several of the rockets with its air defense systems.
In swift retaliation, the IDF conducted artillery strikes on the rocket launch sites and targeted Hezbollah positions, including a building in the Tyre area, used by the militant group. Additionally, a suspected drone heading towards Israel was shot down over southern Lebanon.
This latest exchange underscores the ongoing volatility along the Israel-Lebanon border and raises concerns about further military confrontations. Both sides remain on high alert as international observers call for restraint to prevent further escalation.
