Iron Dome Activated In Northern Israel As Hezbollah Launches Numerous Drones, Rockets.
(Multiple videos at the link.)
Israel engaged a large number of incoming rockets and drones on Sunday morning that were fired by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon following a preemptive series of airstrikes against Hezbollah positions that were preparing to fire on Israel.
Alerts were issued for numerous areas in northern Israel, including Shlomy, Arab al-Aramshe, Betzet, Avdon, Neveh Ziv, Manot, Metzuba, Eilon, Hanita, Idmit, Yaara, Goren, and more.
“Hezbollah has just launched over 150 projectiles from Lebanon toward Israeli territory,” said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a statement. “We target terrorist infrastructure, they target civilians.”
The attack from Hezbollah, an Islamic terrorist group, came in response to Israel killing Fuad Shukr late last month, the Iranian-backed group said.
Shukr was Hezbollah’s “most senior military commander and the head of its Strategic Unit” and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s “right-hand man”.
Footage of the Iron Dome being activated quickly circulated on social media.
