Video: Israel intercepts rockets from Lebanon a day after Beirut bombing

A batch of rockets fired from Lebanon could be seen exploding in the sky when they were intercepted by Israel on Saturday (21).

The images were captured on a Reuters live feed from a camera in northern Israel, pointing towards the eastern side of the border with Lebanon.

Watch the video:


Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border since Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israel in October in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s nearly year-long war against Hamas in Gaza.

At least 31 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb on Friday (20), the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday (21), including three children and seven women, in the deadliest attack in a year of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.

The attack sharply escalated the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese group and dealt another blow to Hezbollah after two days of attacks this week in which pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members were blown up.

The current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is the worst since they fought an all-out war in 2006.
