Israel’s military announced that Hezbollah fired about 300 rockets and projectiles into Israel on Tuesday. This is the second day of the most intense attacks on Lebanon since 2006. An explosive drone hit Atlit, a coastal town south of Haifa, marking the first time Hezbollah reached this area. Two more drones were aimed at the region but were stopped, and there were no injuries from the drones, according to Israeli rescue services. Most rockets were intercepted by Israel’s defense systems.
Hezbollah confirmed the attack, saying its fighters targeted an Israeli naval unit at the Atlit base. Some rockets and parts of missiles that fell caused fires in the Mount Meron area. In Rosh Pina, a residential building was damaged.
Hospitals treated about 23 people, but reports later showed they were mostly suffering from panic, not injuries.
As night came, Israel launched more attacks on Lebanon. The Air Force struck several Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa region and other areas in southern Lebanon. Throughout the day, Israeli planes hit many sites, destroying weapons storage facilities and launchers aimed at Israel.
On Tuesday night, Lebanese military sources reported that Israeli warplanes conducted ten airstrikes on towns in the Tyre region, focusing on Hezbollah sites in Jezzine.
In light of the escalating conflict, the Israeli military held a drill simulating combat in Lebanon. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Israel dealt strong blows to Hezbollah’s leadership and weapons. He claimed that Israel had destroyed many rockets and missiles since Monday. During a briefing, an Israeli military spokesman did not confirm plans for a ground operation in Lebanon.
Israel began its largest bombardment of Lebanon since 2006 on Monday, resulting in over 550 deaths, including civilians, and more than 1,800 injuries across the country. This situation raises concerns about a potential full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah, with worries that other countries might also get involved.
