Hezbollah launched 140 rockets into northern Israel on Friday, following a vow by the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, to retaliate against Israel for a mass bombing attack. The rockets, which were fired in three waves, targeted sites along the border. In response, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a targeted strike in Beirut on Friday afternoon, with explosions heard in the city's southern suburbs. The Israeli military confirmed the strike but did not provide further details about the target or casualties. Reports indicate that Hezbollah fired a total of 150 rockets.
