Hezbollah fires more projectiles at Israel as tensions spike

Lebanon’s Hezbollah fired a fresh barrage of projectiles into northern Israel on Wednesday, the Israeli army said, a day after Israel warned of a “total war” with the Iran-backed militant group.

“Approximately 15 projectiles were identified from Lebanon toward the area of Kiryat Shmona, several of which were intercepted by [army] aerial defence array,” the military said in a statement.

“[Army] artillery struck the sources of fire,” it said, adding the incoming fire did not cause any casualties.

According to The New Arab, the military said its warplanes also struck a Hezbollah military structure in the area of Tyre and infrastructure in Khiam in Lebanon.

Hezbollah said on Wednesday it fired “dozens of Katyusha rockets and artillery rounds” at a barracks in Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel in retaliation for the “Israeli enemy attacks” on Yarun and Khiam.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported Israeli strikes on several areas in south Lebanon on Wednesday, including on the villages of Yarun and Khiam.

The Shia Muslim movement, which also claimed a drone attack on troops in Metula in northern Israel, said four of its fighters had been killed.
