BEIRUT/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Lebanon-based Hezbollah says it fired over 200 rockets and 20 drones on Israel’s North, both in the Galilee and the Golan area, on Thursday in one of its most intense recent attacks.
Fires erupted from Hezbollah’s attacks in several areas, and there were reports of several injuries on the Israeli side, military sources said.
Israel’s ambulance service, Magen David Adom, said two women were taken to a hospital in northern Israel with light injuries.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah group, deemed a terrorist organization by Israel, also fired on Israeli cities like Acre and Nahariya, which have generally been left off of its target list, Israeli sources said.
There were reportedly two direct strikes on two buildings, one in Acre and another north of the city.
Israeli media also reported that a projectile hit a vehicle with Israeli troops inside.
ISRAEL REACTS
The attacks come in response to Israel’s assassination on Wednesday of the commander of the Aziz unit on the southern front of Hezbollah, Muhammad Neamah Naser.
He was viewed as one of the two most senior commanders in Hezbollah killed to date during the nine-month war.
In response, the Israeli military said its forces were “striking launch posts in southern Lebanon” after “numerous projectiles and suspicious aerial targets crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” most of which were intercepted.
The attacks prompted seventeen air raid alerts reverberating over 90 minutes in different parts of the northern region, from Nahariya in the west to the Golan Heights in the east, military officials said.
The skirmishes indicated that a second front was opening for the Jewish nation, which is already facing a war against Hamas in Gaza, an ally of Hezbollah.
As tensions mount, several countries are either evacuating citizens or advising them to leave Lebanon.
