Hezbollah Launches Substantial Rocket Barrages into Israel Following Deadly Airstrikes in Beirut

Recent escalation sees Hezbollah firing up to 250 rockets at Israel, ignited by a deadly Israeli airstrike in Beirut that raised casualty figures significantly.


In a marked intensification of hostilities, Hezbollah has launched approximately 250 rockets into Israeli territory in response to an Israeli airstrike that killed 29 in Beirut. Casualties on both sides have risen sharply, exacerbating the ongoing conflict.



Hezbollah has executed one of its most significant attacks on Israel since the hostilities escalated in September, firing nearly 250 rockets across the border. This bombardment comes on the heels of a devastating Israeli airstrike on central Beirut that resulted in 29 fatalities, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Israeli authorities reported casualties and property damage in several locations, including areas near Tel Aviv, as rocket debris was noted during the intense exchange of fire. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) indicated that a direct attack on one neighborhood left houses engulfed in flames and destruction. Key urban centers, such as Petah Tikva and Haifa, also bore the brunt of the strikes.

Hezbollah, supported by Iran, indicated that its rocket attack was a direct retaliation for Israel’s aggression in Beirut and claimed it targeted military installations in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. Despite these attacks, reports have emerged suggesting that both parties may be moving towards a ceasefire agreement to quell the rising violence.

Israeli media reported Sunday on Israeli and US officials' assertions that the Israeli government had signaled approval for a ceasefire initiative amid the continued violence, though indications of lingering discrepancies in negotiations were noted. As the situation develops, humanitarian concerns intensify, with over 3,670 deaths and significant injuries reported in Lebanon, alongside the displacement of more than one million people since early October.

The Israeli campaign against Hezbollah has escalated, reflecting an urgent need for a de-escalation strategy as civilians on both sides continue to endure the grievous consequences of ongoing military actions.
