Hezbollah's ‘Deadly’ 30-Rocket Barrage Hits Israeli Border Cities; Israeli Defences Fail Miserably

Hezbollah launched a deadly 30-rocket barrage on Monday, targeting Israeli border cities including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya in the Galilee region. The attack, which began early in the morning, caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure. One of the most notable hits was on a local hesder yeshiva in Kiryat Shmona, although fortunately, the building was unoccupied due to prior evacuations of students. While some of the rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system, many others fell in open areas, though the damage and impact on local communities were significant. The attack comes amidst heightened tensions as U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein prepares to visit Beirut to receive Lebanon's official response to a ceasefire proposal. Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has reportedly added more demands to the proposal, creating doubts about a peaceful resolution. The barrage also comes on the heels of Israel's military activity in southern Lebanon, including artillery strikes against Hezbollah positions near Nabatieh. #HezbollahRockets #IsraelUnderAttack #Galilee #KiryatShmona #Nahariya #HezbollahBarrage #IronDomeFail #IsraelDefence #RocketAttack #MiddleEastTensions #IsraeliDefenceForce #LebanonConflict #HezbollahIsrael #IsraelSecurity #LebaneseTerror
