On Tuesday, Hezbollah fired a series of rockets into central Israel, triggering air raid alerts across the nation's largest cities. Thankfully, the attack resulted in no reported injuries or damage.

The Israeli military has confirmed that five projectiles were launched from Lebanon; most were intercepted by the country's missile defense system, with one striking an open field.

This incident occurs as Israel ramps up its strikes on Lebanon-based targets and as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrives to seek the resumption of Gaza ceasefire talks, a mission driven by the recent escalation following Hamas attacks.
