Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Wednesday morning that a massive barrage of rockets was fired on the northern region, stressing that "the rocket barrages that were fired from Lebanon are the largest in terms of rocket type and number since the beginning of the war."
Simultaneously, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah fired a massive 160-rocket barrage at northern "Israel" and launched a direct attack on Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a military research and development company. Following the attack, towns within 10 kilometers of the Lebanese border were directed to take shelter and remain indoors, as per Israeli media.
Our correspondent added that the massive rocket barrage, which he said well exceeded the 100 being reported by Israeli media, targeted Israeli settlements and continued for 10 minutes straight.
