Hezbollah has announced a significant escalation in its conflict with Israel, claiming to have fired over 320 rockets and several explosive-laden drones at northern Israel. The attack targeted 11 Israeli military bases and is described by Hezbollah as the first phase of its retaliation for the assassination of its military commander, Fuad Shukr. The group declared this phase a "complete success." The strikes reportedly resulted in injuries to two individuals from shrapnel and damage to a civilian home. In response, Israeli military forces conducted airstrikes on targets in Lebanon, describing these actions as defensive measures. The attack also targeted the Iron Dome and included bases in the occupied Golan.
