Over 100 Rockets Fired Towards Israel: Lebanon's Response

The Lebanese "Hezbollah" movement carried out three operations this morning against targets in Israel, in response to the mass killings of civilians in Lebanon last week. This was reported by Al Mayadeen.

In the first operation, according to a statement, the movement launched dozens of "Fadi-1" and "Fadi-2" rockets towards an Israeli military base and the Ramat David airport. A second operation against the same targets was also conducted with the same type of rockets.

During the third operation, a strike was conducted on the "Rafael" defense industrial complex, which specializes in electronic equipment and is located in the Zevulun Valley, north of Haifa. Dozens of "Fadi" and "Katyusha" rockets were launched at this target.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) report that more than 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel this morning. Times of Israel, citing military sources, states that the attack was carried out by the Lebanese group "Hezbollah." According to military data, most of the rockets were intercepted, but minor damage occurred in the Izrael Valley due to falling debris, resulting in one man being injured.

The Jerusalem Post later reported a fourth rocket attack by "Hezbollah," where two houses were damaged in the Kiryat Bialik suburb of Haifa, and three people were injured. According to emergency services, they sustained shrapnel injuries and were taken to hospitals. A fire broke out at the impact site.

"Hezbollah" claims that the target of the attack was the Ramat-David airbase in northern Israel. The group also assumed responsibility for the shelling of the Kiryat district near Haifa, stating that it intended to strike a facility belonging to Rafael Defense Company.

The shelling by "Hezbollah" was labeled as a response to last week's explosions in Lebanon that resulted in over 30 deaths and thousands of injuries. The attack was blamed on Israel, with the leader of the Lebanese movement, Hassan Nasrallah, declaring that the country has "crossed all red lines." Israel has officially not commented on its involvement in the explosions, but shortly afterwards, the Israeli government's security cabinet authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to make decisions regarding military actions against "Hezbollah." On September 20, Israeli air forces struck Beirut, killing senior "Hezbollah" commander Ibrahim Akil. According to Lebanese authorities, more than 30 people died.
