The Hezbollah militant group has launched over 8,000 rockets towards Israel following the October 7 attacks by Hamas, according to Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations. This escalation in rocket attacks has resulted in a significant increase in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
During a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, the ambassador highlighted the ongoing threat to Israeli civilians, emphasizing that hundreds of rockets continue to target civilian populations in Israel. The ambassador reiterated Israel’s commitment to defending its citizens by utilizing all available resources.
The conflict has forced approximately 70,000 individuals in northern Israel to evacuate their homes, leading to a situation where they are displaced within their own country. The ambassador emphasized that Israel did not initiate the conflict but is determined to safeguard its territory and people.
The ambassador's remarks underscore the severity of the situation and the impact of the ongoing rocket attacks on Israeli civilians. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely as efforts are made to address the escalating violence and protect civilian populations in the region.
