Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon, launched a series of rocket attacks into Israel on Saturday, targeting what they claimed to be a gathering of Israeli forces near the border. Sirens warning of incoming attacks were heard in various locations in northern Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that approximately 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Upper Galilee region, with two projectiles directed towards northeastern Israel. The IDF successfully intercepted some of the rockets, while others landed in the targeted areas.
In addition to the rocket attacks, the IDF also thwarted two drones that were approaching Israeli airspace from Lebanon. The Israeli Air Force intercepted the drones before they could breach the border.
These incidents have escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, adding to the ongoing conflict in the region. Both sides have been engaged in sporadic clashes, with each accusing the other of provocation and aggression.
The rocket attacks and drone interceptions highlight the volatile situation along the Israel-Lebanon border, raising concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in the area. The IDF remains on high alert and is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and security of Israeli civilians.
