Late Tuesday night, state media reported that Hezbollah had launched a volley of Katyusha rockets towards the Mount Neria base, which serves as a headquarters for Israel's Golani Brigade forces. This attack comes after earlier reports of more than 20 rockets being launched by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon towards the Meron base in northern Israel, as reported by both al-Manar and Al Jazeera.
According to al-Manar, the Western Galilee region was filled with the sound of heavy rocket fire, explosions, and sirens. It was later confirmed by Hezbollah that their fighters had targeted an Israeli deployment at the Jal Al-Deir site, directly hitting them with a barrage of rockets at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, as reported by the National News Agency.
In response to these attacks, Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on several Lebanese villages, including At Tiri, Haddatha, Rchaf, Kafr Kila, Khiam, and the municipality of Kunin. These airstrikes were reported to have taken place around midnight, according to NNA.
The tensions between Lebanon and Israel have been on the rise since October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets towards Israel in solidarity with Hamas' attack the day before. This was followed by Israel retaliating with heavy artillery towards southeastern Lebanon, as reported by Xinhua news agency.
The situation continued to escalate when Israel launched an attack on Dahieh in Beirut's southern suburbs, resulting in the death of a senior Hezbollah military commander, Fouad Shokor, and seven civilians. In response, Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, issued a threat of a definite and painful response to Israel's raid, promising to strike at the appropriate time and place.
