70 Rockets Strike Northern Israel

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities in northern Israel, over 70 rockets were fired towards Israeli towns on Wednesday afternoon. Among the areas targeted were regions where residents remain, attempting to carry on their daily lives amidst ongoing rocket fire.

One of the most significant attacks involved an anti-tank missile striking Kibbutz Dan, seriously injuring a 39-year-old member of the local security team. He was airlifted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, where he remains in serious but stable condition.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded swiftly to the barrage, launching multiple airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. According to IDF reports, Hezbollah had been using rocket launchers in the areas of Maroun al-Ras and Ras al-Naqoura, which were neutralized by precision strikes. Additionally, artillery units pounded other Hezbollah positions across the southern region of Lebanon, including Aynata and Aytaroun.

The escalation comes as residents in the Galilee region express frustration with the government’s response.

"The government must wake up. It's not enough to talk, we need real action to restore security and ensure that evacuated residents can return home," said Giora Zeltz, head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council.

Israeli officials have noted that while the north is under increasing pressure, the IDF continues to operate efficiently, hitting key Hezbollah targets. In response, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television reported the deaths of several of their fighters, including Ali Hassan Abd Ali, marking the 436th Hezbollah casualty since the start of the war.

The situation remains volatile, with the IDF reinforcing its presence in the north while preparing for potential further escalations with Hezbollah.
