Hezbollah has unleashed a massive rocket attack on an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division. The assault is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon and is also intended to show support for Palestinians in Gaza.
