Hezbollah launched a significant rocket attack on northern Israel from Lebanon, targeting multiple locations including the headquarters of the Israeli army's 146th Division in Ja'toun, Nahariya, and the Western Galilee. Over 30 Katyusha rockets were fired, with some reports indicating that the Iron Dome defense system failed to intercept many of these projectiles. The attacks followed Israeli shelling of southern Lebanese towns such as Tyre Harfa and Aita al-Shaab, and were reportedly in response to an earlier attack in Sidon. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that several rockets landed in open areas, resulting in no reported casualties. The escalation marks a significant increase in cross-border tensions between Hezbollah and Israel.
