Salvos of Hezbollah rockets fired at Israeli positions after ‘savage’ strikes
Hezbollah forces have fired salvos of rockets at Israeli positions in response to the occupying regime’s “savage” strikes on Lebanese towns and civilians.
In separate statements, the groups said Friday it targeted Ilaniya moshav in the Lower Galilee region, and Kiryat Ata city in the Haifa district with volleys of Fadi-1 rockets.
Fadi-1 is a 220mm caliber rocket launched from a multiple rocket launcher (MLR). It is said to have a maximum range of 80 kilometers (49 miles).
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news channel reported that salvos of medium-range rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards the occupied Palestinian territories.
A spokesperson for the Israeli military said “a barrage of 10 rockets was fired from Lebanon at Haifa, setting off sirens in the northern coastal city and suburbs.”

Hebrew-language media outlets said “repeated sirens sounded in the North, particularly in Haifa, Acre, Tiberias, the Golan Heights, and the Jordan Valley.”
They said loud explosions were heard in Haifa due to the landing of three rockets fired from Lebanon, which resulted in injuries among settlers.
The Israeli military also confirmed that drones and rockets crossed into occupied territories from Lebanon.
The drones infiltrated the coastal area of Rosh HaNikra, the military said, adding one man suffered wounds from shrapnel.
