Hezbollah launches rockets towards Israel

Hezbollah said it sent rocket batteries to several areas of northern Israel overnight on Tuesday (15), while the Israeli army said it identified dozens of projectiles launched from Lebanon.

Around 50 “projectiles” were identified crossing Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in the early hours of this Wednesday morning (16).

“Some of the projectiles were intercepted and fallen projectiles were identified in the area,” the military said.

The IDF reported no injuries. The extent of the damage is unclear.

The attack comes a day after Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem called on Israelis to accept a ceasefire in Lebanon or face “pain” as the group changes its strategy to strike harder and deeper into Israel.

Israel opposes a “unilateral ceasefire” in its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
