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.
