Hezbollah has launched a significant attack on northern Israel, firing approximately 50 rockets and deploying drones. The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted most of the rockets, preventing major damage. However, a drone attack caused injuries to two Israeli soldiers near Ayelet HaShahar. Rockets targeted areas including Kiryat Shmona, Beit Hillel, and the Galilee Panhandle. The Israeli Air Force responded by striking Hezbollah launch sites in southern Lebanon. This escalation follows a series of smaller skirmishes and marks a significant increase in hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.
