Hezbollah retaliatory strikes
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has fired a barrage of rockets toward Israeli positions in the northern occupied territories including the port city of Haifa. According to the Israeli military, some 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon, with two of them being intercepted over the Haifa area. Hezbollah, for its part, says its rockets targeted two gatherings of Israeli soldiers in settlements located in the northern occupied territories. It said the operations were carried out in support of Palestinians in Gaza and the Lebanese people as well as in response to barbaric Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Hezbollah also said that its resistance fighters fired a guided missile at an Israeli bulldozer trying to pave the way for infiltration of the regime’s tanks and soldiers into southern Lebanon.
