To date, Israel continues to struggle with rocket attacks from Lebanon, with several Israeli air defense systems failing to intercept rockets.
Last week, dozens of soldiers were injured and two were killed when Hezbollah rockets struck the Golani Brigade headquarters. Sirens malfunctioned. Israel described the attack as particularly painful for its troops. (T/RE1/P2)
