ALBAWABA- In the past few hours, the Israeli Army reported the launch of approximately 15 rockets from Lebanon, striking areas in the Upper Galilee, including Yaron and Yiftah near the border. Several drones also infiltrated from southern Lebanon, with one exploding in Beit Hillel.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating they used assault drones against enemy positions and launched Katyusha rockets at the Sahel Battalion headquarters in Beit Hillel, resulting in casualties. 

The Israeli Air Force responded by targeting Hezbollah sites in Aita al-Shaab, Kafr Kila, and the town of Hula in southern Lebanon.

These exchanges come after a rocket attack from Lebanon on the Golan Heights killed 12 children over the weekend, escalating regional tensions.

 The Prime Minister of Lebanon's caretaker government stated that Israel's threats of an all-out war would not deter Lebanon from defending its land.
