Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah reached a new peak as the militant group launched a barrage of 65 rockets at Israel, retaliating against recent Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) airstrikes in Lebanon. The attack resulted in 30 rockets hitting the Israeli town of Safed, causing significant damage and injuring multiple people.
The escalation in violence comes after the IDF conducted airstrikes in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah positions. According to Israeli officials, the airstrikes were in response to earlier rocket attacks launched by Hezbollah. The exchange of fire between the two sides has raised concerns about the potential for a wider conflict in the region.
Hezbollah, a powerful Lebanese Shiite militant group backed by Iran, has been a strong opponent of Israel for decades. The group has previously engaged in conflicts with Israel, including a month-long war in 2006 that resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
As tensions continue to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for de-escalation and a return to dialogue. The latest exchange of fire serves as a reminder of the volatile nature of the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict and the potential for further violence in the region.
