Hezbollah terrorists on Tuesday launched a massive rocket barrage from Lebanon against northern Israel.
According to Visegrad24 and Fox News, Israel’s Iron Dome Defense system shot down most of the rockets, but some penetrated and killed some civilians.<<<READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
It was gathered that Hezbollah resorted to launching massive ‘rocket barrage’ instead of single rockets on Israel in a bid to beat the Iron Dome.
Further reports say Hezbollah has since stopped shooting single rockets since discovering the rocket barrage can achieve a bit of its aim.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel in the areas of Manara and Kiryat Shmona.
In retaliation, IDF fighter jets struck Taybeh, a town in southern Lebanon, which – according to the IDF – was being used as a Hezbollah launch pad to carry out strikes on the Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona.

The IDF also said it struck a Hezbollah anti-tank missile launch post in the village of Aarab El Louaizeh from which launches were carried out on Kiryat Shmona.
Hezbollah Anti-Tank Missile Attack On Israel
A foreign laborer was killed and seven were wounded Monday when an anti-tank guided missile fired by terrorists in Lebanon struck an orchard near the border community of Margaliot, medics and the military said.
The attack was believed to have been carried out by the Hezbollah terror group, which has been launching rockets, missiles, and drones at northern Israel daily amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said a man in his 30s was killed and two were listed in serious condition. Another four men were moderately hurt, and one more victim was listed in good condition, MDA said.
The victims were all foreign laborers, reportedly from Thailand.
The wounded men were taken to Beilinson, Rambam, and Ziv hospitals, by MDA and Israeli Air Force helicopters.
Shortly after the incident, suspected drone infiltration sirens sounded in the Galilee Panhandle, but the Israel Defense Forces said they were false alarms.

Recent Development In Gaza According To Israel
A spokesman for the Israeli military agency tasked with coordinating aid access in Gaza has said in a briefing that there is “no starvation in Gaza’, countering the reports that Gazans are surviving off animal feeds, dead animals; BBC reports.
Meanwhile, in Rafah zoo, dozens of destitute Gazans are camping between the cages where starving monkeys, parrots and lions cry out for food months into Israel’s offensive.
Further reports said most Gazans are only hopeful of feeding when the animals in the zoo die of starvation.
Nearly all Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes under a bombardment that has reduced much of the territory to rubble.
Many now cram the southern city of Rafah, their shelters packing street corners and empty lots.
People living in the isolated north of Gaza have told the BBC that children are going without food for days.
Sadly, aid convoys are increasingly denied permits to enter Gaza
It was gathered that some residents have resorted to grinding animal feed into flour to survive, but even stocks of those grains are now dwindling, they say.
People have also described digging down into the soil to access water pipes, for drinking and washing. The UN has warned that acute malnutrition among young children in the north has risen sharply, and is now above the critical threshold of 15%.
The UN’s humanitarian coordination agency, Ocha, says more than half the aid missions to the north of Gaza were denied access last month, and that there is increasing interference from Israeli forces in how and where aid is delivered.
It says 300,000 people estimated to be living in northern areas are largely cut off from assistance, and face a growing risk of famine.

Russia Meets With Hamas
Some people around the world had faulted Russia’s decision to invite Hamas and other Palestinian factions including Fatah to Moscow on February 26th.
President Vladimir Putin’s Russia had said the invitation was for a meeting on the Israel-Hamas war and other issues in the Middle East.
Moscow, which for years tried to court good relations with all major players in the region, has grown increasingly critical of Israel and its Western backers amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

The meeting, according to Russia, started from February 29th.
The state-run TASS news agency reported the development, citing Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov.
“We invited all Palestinian representatives — all political forces that have their positions in different countries, including Syria, Lebanon and other countries in the region,” said Bogdanov, who is President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for the Middle East.
The war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
Meanwhile, fighting, fuel shortages and Israeli raids put the Gaza Strip’s second-largest hospital completely out of service on Sunday, local and UN health officials said, as Israel battled Hamas militants in the devastated Palestinian enclave.<<<READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
