Hezbollah Rockets Hit Multiple Locations in Northern Israel, Including Acre and Haifa

Tel Aviv, MINA – Lebanese group Hezbollah expanded its attacks on targets in northern Israel on Sunday, reaching as far as Acre and Haifa, while the Israeli army continued its attacks in southern Lebanon despite an ongoing truce, according to Anadolu Agency.

Hezbollah said it struck a gathering of Israeli soldiers at a helicopter landing pad in the Shlomi settlement using a suicide drone. The group also targeted Israeli military infrastructure with rockets in Nahariya and in the Krayot area north of Haifa, claiming its attacks were “in defense of the Lebanese people” amid Tel Aviv’s ongoing offensive.

The Israeli army reported detecting a booby-trapped drone and at least seven rockets launched from Lebanon, with sirens activated in Kiryat Shmona, Kfar Giladi, Tel Hai, and Metula in northern Israel. The army said it intercepted two rockets that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon.

Army Radio said sirens also sounded in Acre and the Krayot area in the Haifa district, adding that Hezbollah continues to widen the scope of its attacks. Hezbollah fired five rockets from Lebanon toward Nahariya and surrounding areas, with most rockets intercepted and no casualties recorded.

The escalation came hours after the Israeli army announced that it had launched a “large-scale” offensive in the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi al-Salouqi area of southern Lebanon.

Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed over 3,370 people and injured more than 10,000 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.[]
