Hezbollah Fires Massive Rocket Barrage at Northern Eretz Yisroel, IDF Strikes Back

By FrumNews.com Staff

On Tuesday morning, sirens sounded across Northern Eretz Yisroel as the terror group Hezbollah launched a barrage of over 100 rockets aimed at them.

The Iranian-backed terror group proxy fired a 70-rocket barrage at the two areas at approximately 7:00 AM. Just over an hour later, another 30 rockets were fired at the northern Golan.

The attacks have been one of the heaviest barrages, since the start of the war.

Baruch Hashem, no casualties or damage were reported from either barrage, with most of the projectiles either intercepted by the Iron Dome or hitting open areas.

Giora Zaltz, Head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council, responded to the heavy barrage of rockets, “Israel has lost its deterrent power and is unable to regain it. The Israeli government must change the rules of the game on the northern border to actually create a border area free of Hezbollah and, no less importantly, to create a real deterrent.”

The IDF retaliated with a number of strikes at Hezbollah launch sites. IDF fighter jets struck two Hezbollah military command centers in the area of Baalbek, deep inside Lebanon. According to the IDF, Hezbollah used these sites to store significant assets used to strengthen its weapons arsenal.

Furthermore, a military compound in the area of Khiam Lebanon, and terrorist infrastructure in the area of Bint Jbeil were also struck earlier today. Additional rocket launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into the areas of Zar’it, Shtula, and Rosh HaNikra in northern Israel. The IIDF attacked these targets with artillery fire.

The IDF states that over the past five months, they struck over 1,200 Hezbollah targets from the air and more than 3,100 Hezbollah targets from the ground in both Lebanon and Syria. Among the targets are weapons storage facilities, military structures intended for Hezbollah’s offensive activity and operational command and control centers where terrorists were located.
