Hezbollah fired “dozens” of rockets into northern Israel early June 12, in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed a senior Hezbollah commander. Hezbollah fired what it said were “dozens” of rockets and artillery shells into northern Israel early Wednesday in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike the night before that killed a senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon.
