About 50 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon towards upper Galilee, Israeli media reported. Videos captured Israel's Iron Dome defence system intercepting the rockets. Hezbollah issued a statement, declaring the attack was in support of Palestinians in Gaza and in retaliation for Israeli strikes on southern Lebanese villages, specifically Kafr Kila and Deir Siryan, which resulted in civilian injuries. The statement noted the inclusion of Beit Hillel, a new settlement, in their attack strategy, marking the first bombardment of the area with Katyusha rockets. Israel has not yet issued a comment on the incident. The escalation follows recent tensions and violence in the region, heightening concerns over further conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
