BEIRUT. Hezbollah fired approximately 250 rockets and projectiles into Israel on Sunday, injuring seven individuals in one of the group’s most intense attacks in months. The assault came in response to a deadly Israeli strike on Beirut, even as international negotiators continued pressing for a ceasefire to halt the ongoing war.
Some of the projectiles launched reached central Israel, including the Tel Aviv area. The Magen David Adom rescue service reported treating several casualties, including a 60-year-old man in severe condition in northern Israel and others affected by rockets and fires in Petah Tikva and Haifa. In Haifa, a residential building was reportedly at risk of collapse after being struck.
Simultaneously, Israeli airstrikes targeted an army center in southern Lebanon, killing one Lebanese soldier and injuring 18 others, according to Lebanon’s military. The Israeli military issued a statement expressing regret for the casualties, clarifying that the operation was part of its ongoing combat efforts against Hezbollah and not aimed at Lebanese forces.
Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the strikes, calling them a “direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts” to achieve peace. Over 40 Lebanese soldiers have reportedly been killed since the conflict began, with Lebanon’s military largely staying neutral in the confrontation.
