Rocket attack by Hezbollah causes power outage in northern Israeli occupied territories

A large barrage of rockets fired by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has resulted in a power outage in the northern Israeli occupied territories, disrupting electricity supply to several areas and affecting settlers. 

Hezbollah hit various localities in the Upper Galilee towns in the northern Israeli occupied territories with a volley of “102” rockets on Wednesday evening, the Israeli military said in a statement.

This is while Israel’s Channel 12 maintained that “about 220 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards northern Israel" since Wednesday morning that disrupted electricity supply to several areas.

In a statement, Hezbollah said on Wednesday evening that it had managed to destroy at least three Israeli Merkava tanks with guided missiles, adding that the tanks were advancing towards Maroun al-Ras in southern Lebanon at the time.

The Hezbollah fighters also detonated an explosive device when Israeli infantry entered a house near Kfar Kila, killing “a number of occupation soldiers” and wounding some others, the resistance movement further said.

14 Israeli soldiers killed in southern Lebanon, Israeli sources say

Sky News Arabia reported the fatalities, citing unnamed Israeli sources.

In a report on Wednesday, Sky News Arabia, citing unnamed Israeli sources, said that at least 14 Israeli soldiers had been killed during clashes with Hezbollah fighters with many reported injuries among the invaders since the onset of Israel’s ground aggression into Lebanon on Tuesday.

There has been a major escalation in Israel’s barbarism in Lebanon that saw the regime assassinating Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on southern Beirut on September 27.

The death toll from Israeli aerial assaults across Lebanon since early October 2023 has passed the 1,700 mark with nearly 8,770 injured, according to Lebanese government data. In response, Hezbollah has fired barrages of rockets and drones towards Israeli targets.
