New Fires\u00a0Erupt In Israel After Hezbollah Sends 200 Rockets, Drone Swarms<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Large wildfires are once again raging in northern Israel’s Galilee region after on Thursday Hezbollah launched a particularly intense barrage of 200 rockets as well as drone swarms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some of the fires are believed the result of burning fragments from interceptor shrapnel which fell as anti-air defenses are heavily at work. Soon after, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sent a stern warning and message to all of Lebanon, sending jets over Beirut which broke the sound barrier<\/strong>. This happened in other parts of the country as well.<\/p>\n

The IDF further said<\/a> the Air Force “struck Hezbollah military structures” in south Lebanon’s Ramyeh and Houla areas. Casualties – whether among militants or civilians – were not immediately known.<\/p>\n

Throughout Thursday fires have raged in at least ten locations <\/strong>in the Galilee and Golan Heights areas due to the ramped up Hezbollah attacks.<\/p>\n

Israeli emergency and civic services have reported that at least one highway in the area has been blocked as a result of the fast encroaching fires.<\/p>\n

Just the day prior, on Wednesday, Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon<\/strong>, Muhammad Nimah Nasser, and Thursday’s huge rocket barrage is seen as retaliation for that.<\/p>\n

Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine warned<\/a> while speaking at Nasser’s funeral, “The series of responses continues in succession, and this series will continue to target new sites that the enemy did not imagine would be hit<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

These ‘new sites’ could include strikes as deep into Israel as Haifa, which would mark a much bigger escalation in attacks. Last month Hezbollah published drone surveillance footage taken over Israel’s port city of Haifa in an effort to spook Tel Aviv leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
