Two Israeli civilians killed in Hezbollah rocket attack in Golan Heights
12 civilians and 16 soldiers have been killed in northern Israel since Hezbollah began attacking Israel on October 8.
Two Israeli civilians were killed in a Hezbollah rocket attack in the Golan Heights on Tuesday.
The two victims, Noa, 46 and Nir Baranes, 46, were killed when a rocket hit their vehicle near the Nafah Junction. They leave three children behind.
Hezbollah fired 40 rockets at the Golan Heights and northern Israel on Tuesday, saying it was retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s former bodyguard earlier in the day on the Beirut-Damascus highway.
On Tuesday evening, IDF said Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah infrastructure “in the area of Qabrikha from which the projectiles were launched toward the area of the Golan Heights” as well as Hezbollah military structures in the area of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon.
Tuesday overnight, Israeli airstrikes also targeted two “terrorist infrastructure sites of Hezbollah’s Aerial Defense Array in the areas of Janta deep in Lebanon and Baraachit in southern Lebanon,” as well as a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the area of Kfarkela.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
