Lebanon’s Hezbollah said it launched more than 200 rockets and explosive drones Thursday at Israeli military positions as tensions have soared amid the almost nine-months-old Gaza war.
The Iran-backed militant group said its latest attack, which followed the launch of over 100 rockets the previous day, was in response to Israel’s killing of a senior Hezbollah commander.
Israel did not report any deaths in its northern border area, where most communities have been evacuated, but quickly said it had responded with air strikes on targets in southern Lebanon.
