Hezbollah rockets hit Haifa after Israel pounds Beirut
In a concerning escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Hezbollah rockets struck the port city of Haifa in Israel, causing injury to at least ten people. This marks the first time that Haifa has been targeted since the conflict in Gaza began a year ago.
Haifa, located on Israel’s Mediterranean Coast just 30 kilometers from the Lebanese border, has been on high alert as rockets from southern Lebanon have been intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. However, this latest attack has left residents in shock and raised fears of further violence in the region.

The attacks come amidst ongoing clashes between Israel and Gaza, as well as simmering tensions between Israel and Lebanon. These recent events have put a spotlight on the volatile situation in the region and the potential for further conflict.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community is closely monitoring the developments and urging restraint from all sides involved.
