Foreign media reported Saturday that Hezbollah launched a heavy drone-and-missile attack on northern Israel, striking multiple sites in the Galilee region. Initial salvoes included at least eight missiles toward Israeli positions, with one impact reported in Kiryat Shmona. Hezbollah said it carried out 22 operations against Israeli positions and equipment in the past 24 hours, calling them reprisals for Israeli strikes on civilian areas. The Israeli army confirmed rockets were fired into western Galilee, saying several were intercepted and the remainder fell in open ground with no casualties. Fighting in southern Lebanon has reignited this week and Israel has resumed strikes on southern Beirut suburbs.
