Hezbollah fired rockets at settlements in northern Israel for the first time since the ceasefire came into effect on April 17, APA reports citing Naharnet news portal.
According to him, fighters launched at least 100 rockets and drones at Israeli territory, most of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Air raid sirens sounded in 60 towns and villages.
Rocket salvos were fired at the major cities of Karmiel and Nahariya in the Western Galilee, and the city of Kiryat Shmona in the Upper Galilee was shelled several times.
The newspaper Asharq al-Awsat attributes the resumption of Hezbollah rocket attacks to an attempt to disrupt Israeli ground operations in southern Lebanon.
