Hezbollah launches heavy rocket barrage on northern Israel amid ongoing conflict
Hezbollah launched a significant rocket barrage targeting northern Israel, including the cities of Haifa and the Krayot region, marking one of the most intense shelling events since the conflict's escalation. Israeli media reported that around 100 rockets were fired from border sites, areas previously claimed to be under Israeli control. The strike resulted in direct casualties in the Krayot area, with reports of at least three people wounded in Bi’ina. Emergency services were quickly deployed to the region.
The attack also affected other parts of northern Israel, including Haifa, Kiryat Bialik, and Kiryat Ata. Sirens were heard across Haifa, the Krayot, and the surrounding industrial zones, signaling a significant escalation in the violence. Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav described the scale of the attack as one of the largest since Hezbollah began shelling northern Israel on October 8.
In a shift to higher-grade weaponry, Hezbollah launched two ballistic missiles as part of the assault. The group took responsibility for the attack, claiming they targeted a training base for the Israeli Paratroopers Brigade in the Karmiel settlement.
The timing of this attack follows recent statements by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who claimed that Israel had "defeated Hezbollah" and emphasized that it was now Israel's responsibility to press further for victory. This missile salvo comes just a day after Katz’s remarks, marking an escalation of hostilities between the two sides.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, Hezbollah has engaged in limited but direct action against Israeli forces. Tensions have been high, with Israel conducting cyber-attacks and airstrikes, and targeting Hezbollah leaders. The situation has further escalated with widespread bombings and assassinations, contributing to a growing death toll in Lebanon. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that, as of November 10, 3,189 Lebanese have been killed and over 14,000 injured since the beginning of Israel's aggression on Lebanon.
