Israel Launches Counterattack in Response to Hezbollah Rocket Attack

Israel launched strikes on terror targets in Lebanon in response to a Hezbollah rocket barrage on northern communities. The attacks came after a period of relative quiet and included rockets hitting several areas. Hezbollah has increased its attacks on northern Israel following the October 7 massacre by Hamas. Israel has responded proportionately to each attack, with estimates suggesting over 40 Hezbollah members have been killed in counterstrikes. The IDF also intercepted surface-to-air missiles fired from Lebanon and thwarted anti-tank missile attacks.
