Hezbollah Fires 320 Rockets at Israel in Retaliation; Israel Hits Back
In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Hezbollah launched over 320 rockets and drones at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of commander Fuad Shukr. The attack targeted 11 military sites in Israel, prompting Israeli jets to preemptively strike targets in Lebanon. Despite the barrage of rockets, Israel’s Iron Dome defense system successfully intercepted many of the incoming projectiles.
Following the attack, Israel’s cabinet met to address the situation, with Defence Minister Gallant declaring a state of emergency and temporarily suspending flights at Ben Gurion airport. Hezbollah has labeled the assault as the “first phase” of their response, indicating a potential escalation in the conflict.
The exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel has raised concerns about the stability of the region, with both sides showing a willingness to engage in further military action. The situation remains volatile as tensions continue to rise, posing a threat to the already fragile peace in the Middle East.
