Israel struck terror targets in Lebanon amid a Hezbollah rocket barrage on northern communities on Saturday.
The widespread attacks in the North came after several days of relative quiet, and included rockets on Margaliot, Misgav Am, and the Bedouin town of Arab el-Aramsha. Three launches from Lebanon towards Israel were detected that fell in open areas.
Following the October 7 massacre by Hamas, Hezbollah increased its attacks on northern Israel. More than 40 communities and the city of Kiryat Shmona have been evacuated.
On Friday, Hezbollah terrorists attempted to launch rockets toward Israeli territory, the IDF said.
“The rockets fell in Syria. Overnight, in response, an IDF fighter jet struck Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in Lebanon.”
In response to the launches on the last day, the IDF attacked military targets of the terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanese territory on Saturday night.
In general, Israel responds proportionately to each attack in the North. Estimates in various foreign media and social media sources say that more than 40 Hezbollah members have been killed in counterstrikes over the last three weeks.
IDF intercepts surface-to-air missile
On Saturday, the IDF thwarted surface-to-air missiles fired from Lebanon at an Israeli UAV. Then a terrorist cell fired anti-tank missiles toward Hanita, a community in the hills facing Lebanon on the border. It is not far from the Mediterranean and Shlomi and other communities near Nahariya. An IDF drone responded to the attack.
Later in the day, there were anti-tank missiles and mortars launched from Lebanon. Then there were more attacks near Zarit on the border. Towards the evening, sirens sounded in Shtula, which is also located on the high hills that overlook Lebanon.
There have been numerous attacks on Shtula since October 7, including one anti-tank missile that hit a vehicle, killing one person and injuring others during the first week of the war.
Israel carried out retaliation using tanks, artillery, and aircraft.
