A Hezbollah rocket attack injured a man in northern Israel. Reports from multiple Israeli media outlets confirm this incident occurred in the town of Ma’agan Michael. The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported that falling interceptor fragments caused the injuries.
In addition to the injuries, several vehicles and a residential building sustained damage. Falling shrapnel from intercepted rockets struck the northern Israeli town. Hezbollah launched medium-range rockets targeting northern Israel and Tel Aviv early in the morning. Sirens sounded across the affected areas, alerting residents to the threat.
The Israeli army responded swiftly. They reported multiple instances of hostile aircraft sirens in the targeted regions. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israeli Drone Attack in Gaza
In a separate incident, the Israeli military conducted a drone strike in Beit Lahiya, located in northern Gaza. According to the Wafa news agency, this attack resulted in the deaths of at least 15 Palestinians. Among the dead are women and children, with many others injured.
Hezbollah also claimed responsibility for attacking the “Stella Maris” naval base. This facility lies northwest of the coastal city of Haifa. Additionally, Hezbollah posted a photo on its Telegram channel, indicating a missile strike north of Caesarea, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resides. However, Hezbollah did not explicitly claim this attack.
Earlier reports indicated that Hezbollah had targeted the Glilot military base near Tel Aviv. They launched a missile salvo in this attack and appeared to execute a second strike on a suburb of Tel Aviv.
State of Emergency Declared
In response to the escalating violence, Israeli authorities declared a state of emergency in the Tel Aviv area. Fortunately, no casualties were reported from these attacks. The barrage of rockets aimed at Tel Aviv and Haifa highlighted the intensity of the situation.
For the first time, medium-range rockets were used from this direction. Minutes later, air raid sirens blared in Tel Aviv. Consequently, air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport came to a complete halt. The Israeli military announced emergency measures across the Tel Aviv area.
Witnesses reported around 12 medium-range rockets launched toward Haifa and Tel Aviv. This attack serves as a significant signal from Hezbollah. Despite ongoing conflicts, they still possess considerable military capabilities.
Further Attacks and No Reported Injuries
Hezbollah also announced that it bombed the Glilot military base, which is associated with Israel’s intelligence unit 8200. They described this attack as a “qualitative missile salvo.” Earlier, they indicated that missiles struck the Nirit area in the Tel Aviv suburbs, resulting in large explosions.
The Israeli military confirmed that there have been no casualties reported from these recent attacks. The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for potential further escalation.
The recent rocket attacks by Hezbollah mark a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The injury of a civilian in Israel and the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza underscore the toll of this violence. As tensions continue to rise, both Israel and Hezbollah remain on high alert.
