Hezbollah launches 200 rockets at Israel
THE Lebanese Hezbollah group says it has launched more than 200 rockets at several military bases in Israel today in retaliation for a strike that killed one of its senior commanders.
The Hezbollah attack was one of the largest in the exchanges along the Lebanon-Israel border, with tensions escalating in recent weeks.
The Israeli military said “numerous projectiles and suspicious aerial targets” had entered its territory from Lebanon, many of which it said were intercepted. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
