Hezbollah launched a major attack on Israel on Sunday morning, firing over 100 rockets, drones, and missiles into Israeli territory. The attack was carried out in retaliation for strikes on Hezbollah militia members in Lebanon last week.
The exchange of fire marks a significant escalation in tensions between the two longtime adversaries. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett condemned the attack, labeling Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and vowing to defend Israeli citizens against further aggression.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded to the attacks by launching airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The Israeli military also activated its Iron Dome defense system to intercept incoming rockets from Hezbollah.
The United Nations has called for restraint and de-escalation on both sides, warning that the violence could spiral out of control and lead to a broader conflict in the region. The international community has expressed concern over the potential for further violence and called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The Israeli government has vowed to take whatever measures necessary to protect its citizens from further attacks by Hezbollah. The IDF remains on high alert, with the military preparing for the possibility of further hostilities in the coming days.
As tensions continue to rise in the region, the situation remains volatile and unpredictable. Both Israel and Hezbollah are closely monitoring the situation and preparing for any potential developments in the ongoing conflict.
