Earlier on Monday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with tens of Katyusha and Falaq rockets.

The operation came in support of the people of Palestine and their brave Resistance and in response to the gruesome massacre the Israeli occupation forces committed against Lebanese civilians in the southern Lebanese village of Bint Jbeil. 

Consequently, Israeli media reported that a fire broke out in the industrial district of Kiryat Shmona after being directly hit by Hezbollah. 

Israeli media also revealed that several rockets accurately hit a number of houses in the settlement, causing significant damage. 

Collectively, Hezbollah pounded Kiryat Shmona with at least 50 rockets.

Kiryat Shmona settlers will not return to the North: Settlement chief

The settlers of Kiryat Shmona will not return even if a ceasefire deal was agreed on with Hezbollah, the mayor of the settlement, Avichai Stern, said last week. 

In discussion with Israeli Channel 14, Stern considered that a ceasefire on Hezbollah's side, in the event of a prisoner exchange agreement that would return Israeli captives from Gaza, would hold "disastrous indications".

Stern said that the "October 7 threat to the North is yet to be removed, we are still living the same reality as we had on October 6, but they evacuated us because we were at risk and danger," further asking "What changed since? Did they [Cabinet] do something to remove that threat? The answer is no." 

If an agreement was signed and settlers were instructed to return to Kiryat Shmona, Stern affirmed that no one would return, adding that they would not be the "scapegoat". 

Around 700 rockets rained on Kiryat Shmona, destroying and damaging at least 1,000 housing units. Almost every complex in the settlement has been abandoned, with plants growing randomly in public spaces, and fish reaching maximum growth because no one goes fishing anymore.
