Rocket sirens sounded across Northern Israel on Tuesday as the Hezbollah terror group launched explosive drones, targeting Israeli civilians and communities, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Hezbollah had said it would begin targeting the people of Israel, rather than military targets, following last week’s assassination of the terror group’s second-in-command Fouad Shukur in a Beirut strike and Hamas leader Islamil Haniyeh in Tehran.
Israel has claimed responsibility for the strike in Beirut that killed Shukur, but not for the killing of Haniyeh, who was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian.
Hezbollah has been firing near-daily attacks on northern Israel since Oct. of 2023 in response to the war in Gaza. Most of the rockets have been intercepted by Israel’s aerial defense system, but some have caused damage in Israel, injuring or killing several civilians.
