Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched a barrage of more than 200 rockets and drones at Israeli army positions on Thursday as tensions soared amid the almost nine-month-old war raging in Gaza.
The Iran-backed militant group said its latest attack, which followed over 100 rockets fired the previous day, came in response to Israel’s killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in south Lebanon.
Israel reported no deaths in its northern border area, where most communities have been evacuated, but quickly said it had responded with strikes in southern Lebanon.
