Hezbollah has launched a significant barrage of over 100 rockets into northern Israel, marking a notable escalation in the ongoing conflict. This military action is described as a response to what Hezbollah terms as a 'brutal massacre' conducted by Israeli forces in Lebanon earlier this week. The targeted sites included military complexes associated with the Rafael company, which specializes in defense technologies, situated in the Zevulun area north of Haifa.
Israeli reports indicate that the missile strikes have resulted in injuries and property damage, particularly in the Haifa and Krayot regions. The situation is unprecedented since the 2006 conflict, with military analysts suggesting that Hezbollah's strategic targeting aims to disrupt both security and economic infrastructures.
In reaction to the attacks, Israeli military forces are on high alert, with predictions that Hezbollah will continue its missile strikes in the coming days. Political analysts in Israel suggest that the escalation may force the Israeli government to intensify its military operations in Lebanon to counteract Hezbollah's actions.
The impact of the missile attacks has led to the suspension of classes in several towns around Haifa, as local authorities respond to the heightened threat level. Residents have reported difficulties accessing shelters during the bombardments, raising concerns about civilian safety.
