The attack was in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed one of Hezbollah's senior commanders earlier this week.
Militant group Hezbollah has said it has fired 200 rockets into Israel in one of its largest barrages yet. The Iran-backed organisation claimed it launched the attack on ten Israeli military sites using a 'squadron of drones'. Tensions have been boiling around the border between Israel and Lebanon in recent weeks. The Israeli military said that 'numerous projectiles and suspicious aerial targets' had entered its territory, many of which it said were intercepted.
Hours after Israel's acknowledgement, Hezbollah launched scores of Katyusha rockets and Falaq rockets with heavy warheads into northern Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The US and France are continuing to scramble to prevent the skirmishes from spiraling into an all-out war, which they fear could spillover across the Arab world. The tensions between Israel and Lebanon erupted shortly after the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
