"Following the sirens that sounded in several areas in northern Israel, a projectile that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, and several projectiles fell in open areas in accordance with standard protocols. No injuries or damages were reported."
"Israel warned both in private and in public in recent days that if Hezbollah were to open a new front on the Israeli-Lebanese border during a war with Iran, it would retaliate harshly."
Hezbollah, despite significant degradation from Israeli strikes over the past year, remains Iran's most important regional proxy. The organization claimed responsibility for launching missiles into Israel as retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The Israeli military responded with retaliatory strikes in Lebanon, including in Beirut. According to the IDF, a projectile crossing from Lebanon was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, with several projectiles falling in open areas. No injuries or damages were reported. Israel had previously warned both privately and publicly that any new Hezbollah offensive on the Israeli-Lebanese border during the Iran conflict would result in harsh retaliation.
