Hezbollah has launched a series of attacks on Israeli positions in northern Haifa, Acre, and the Golan Heights, prompting Israel to call up an additional reserve brigade in response. The Israeli Home Front Command reported that sirens were activated in the Golan Heights as a result of the rocket barrage from Hezbollah. The Lebanese group claimed responsibility for targeting Israeli forces, including a missile strike on the Zevulun area and attacks on military gatherings in southern Lebanon.
In retaliation, the Israeli army has been conducting airstrikes on various towns in southern and eastern Lebanon, including Taybeh and Shamshtar. The Israeli military reported significant casualties among its troops, with at least 78 Israelis killed since the outbreak of hostilities on October 8, 2023. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon, with over 2,400 deaths and more than 1.3 million displaced persons reported since the escalation began.
