Hezbollah Launches Over 150 Rockets, Including Longer Range Missiles, at Israeli Civilians

Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets, including longer range missiles, at civilian targets in Israel overnight Saturday and into Sunday. The attacks forced over half a million Israeli civilians, including Jews, Muslims, and Christians, to spend the night in bomb shelters. Many rockets hit homes, and the constant barrage of rocket alert sirens added to the chaos. The attacks have led to thousands of children missing school as they remain in shelters for safety. Israel's missile defense systems and bomb shelters have been crucial in protecting civilians from the indiscriminate missile fire, which included over 150 missiles aimed at both Jewish and Arab Israeli towns.
