Israeli forces launched airstrikes targeting positions of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon on Wednesday, following a significant missile barrage into northern Israel. The Israeli military reported that approximately 65 projectiles were fired from Lebanon, with some intercepted by aerial defense systems and others landing in open areas.
Emergency services responded promptly to fires caused by the falling projectiles. Fortunately, there were no reports of casualties or significant damage, the military confirmed. The confrontation marks another escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two regions.
The military's quick reaction and the efficiency of Israel's aerial defenses played a crucial role in minimizing the impact of these attacks. As tensions continue to simmer, both sides remain on high alert.
