On Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that approximately eight projectiles were launched from Lebanon into Israel. These projectiles landed in open areas near the city of Tiberias, located in the northern part of Israel. It is worth noting that last year, thousands of Israelis had to evacuate from communities near the Lebanese border to Tiberias, causing a significant increase in the city's population.
Since October 8, there have been ongoing exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah. The conflict escalated following a deadly attack by Hamas on Israel, prompting Hezbollah to fire at Israel in protest of the war in Gaza. Hezbollah has demanded a ceasefire in Gaza as a condition to cease its attacks on Israel.
The situation further intensified last week when Israel took action by detonating pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members, resulting in injuries to thousands of people across Lebanon. This action was followed by a series of intense bombing campaigns that have tragically led to the loss of hundreds of lives.
The recent events highlight the volatile nature of the region and the complex dynamics at play between various factions. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues to pose a significant threat to the stability and security of the area, with both sides engaging in retaliatory actions that further escalate tensions.
