Hezbollah Launches Rocket Attacks on Northern Israel
The Lebanese militant group stated its fighters had struck Israeli sites throughout the Galilee region with coordinated rocket fire, saying the attacks were "in response to the criminal Israeli aggression that targeted dozens of Lebanese cities and towns, including the southern suburbs of Beirut."
Earlier Thursday, Lebanon's Health Ministry and local media reported that Israeli airstrikes across northern and southern Lebanon had killed at least 12 people.
The cross-border exchange is the latest flare-up in a cycle of hostilities that resumed Monday, triggered by the large-scale U.S.-Israeli offensive on Iran — a campaign that has claimed more than 900 lives since Saturday, among them Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top military commanders.
Lebanese authorities say the toll from Israeli attacks since Monday has reached at least 72 dead and nearly 450 wounded.
The renewed violence underscores a near-total collapse of the ceasefire agreement brokered between Israel and Hezbollah in November 2024 — a deal Israel has repeatedly breached through near-daily strikes that have left hundreds of casualties in their wake.
Israel first launched its offensive against Lebanon in October 2023, escalating into full-scale war by September 2024. That campaign has since killed more than 4,000 people and left approximately 17,000 others wounded.
