The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of Fadi 1 rockets targeting several Israeli settlements, or "kiryat" (Hebrew for villages), located north of Haifa. The attack was carried out in solidarity with the resilient Palestinian people in Gaza, and in defense of Lebanon and its citizens.
Hezbollah issued a statement explaining that the operation was a direct response to the Israeli assaults on Lebanese towns, villages, and civilians.
The Israeli military confirmed that at least 10 rockets were fired from Lebanon, hitting areas in the Galilee region and near Haifa. Air raid sirens were triggered across the region, including in the settlement of Kiryat Ata, northeast of Haifa, where a fire broke out following the attacks.
In addition to the rocket strikes near Haifa, Hezbollah fired a Noor missile at the Israeli settlement of Kfar Giladi. This marked the first reported use of the Noor missile since October 8, when Hezbollah launched its support front for the sake of Gaza.
Hezbollah also launched rockets at Israeli military positions, directly hitting a group of Israeli soldiers in the settlement of Yiftah, with another strike hitting Bethsaida. A third rocket salvo targeted a gathering point at the Israeli military position in al-Zaaoura.
In retaliation for the continued Israeli bombardment of Lebanese towns and villages, Hezbollah escalated its strikes, targeting the settlements of Kabri, Saar, Gesher HaZiv, and the city of Safed with rocket barrages.
Additionally, Hezbollah launched Fadi 2 rockets at the Israeli military base in Naqoura and struck an Israeli infantry unit at the Sadah outpost with artillery, reportedly achieving direct hits.
