1 killed, 8 wounded in Hezbollah rocket barrage at northern Israel
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised that the daily cross-border attacks against northern Israel will continue until Israel stops its 'agression' in Gaza.
Wednesday’s rocket barrage by Hezbollah which killed a woman and wounded eight is a declaration of war, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said.
“This is not a trickle [of rockets], it’s war. It’s time to leave behind the ‘conception’ in the north as well,” Ben-Gvir tweeted. The barrage hit an IDF base and an industrial zone in the northern Israeli city of Safed.
“Numerous launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into the areas of Netua, Menara, and into an IDF base in northern Israel,” IDF said.
A man in his 30’s was taken to the Trauma Unit at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa after he a rocket shrapnel penetrated his skull, leaving him severely wounded.

Yuli Edelstein, head of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, responded to the attack in Safed, saying: “Either there will be all-out war and Hezbollah will be moved away, and it will bear responsibility for the results in Beirut and Lebanon, or we won’t let them raise the bar and exact a severe response, and they will be moved away from the border.”
The attack comes after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that the daily cross-border attacks against northern Israel would continue until Israel “stops its agression in Gaza.”
Israel is insisting that Hezbollah stop its unprovoked, daily attacks on northern Israel and remove its forces from the Lebanese border, as stipulated in the 1701 Security Council resolution which ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
