ALBAWABA - Hezbollah said today that it has killed Israeli troops close to the border between Lebanon and Israel and that it has attacked northern Haifa and the Galilee with missiles, causing extensive damage and fires.
Israeli media, meanwhile, claimed that throughout the course of the night, Israeli air forces unleashed 73 tons of bombs on southern Beirut.
Hezbollah claims that its fighters used a guided missile to destroy a Merkava tank close to the Malikiya region, inflicting injuries and deaths on Israeli soldiers.
Israeli police claimed that missiles in different locations of Kiryat Shmona and the Lower Galilee caused significant property damage.
A Hezbollah-launched rocket from Lebanon hit a building in Kiryat Shmona directly, according to the Israeli publication Yedioth Ahronoth. Channel 12 said that more than ten rockets were fired into the city, some of which fell in open fields.
Following the attacks, many fires broke out around the Galilee area, according to Israeli authorities.
Sixty rocket projectiles have been fired from Lebanon since this morning, twenty of which were fired in the most recent assault on the Lower Galilee, according to Israel's army radio.
Additionally, Hezbollah claimed credit for rocket attacks on the Kiryot neighborhood, which is situated north of Haifa. Online videos purport to show missiles that have penetrated Israel's defenses landing on the outskirts of the city.
More sources said that the industrial zone north of Haifa, which is more than 40 kilometers from the border with Lebanon, was struck by rockets.
