Hezbollah Shells North With 40 Rockets

Stand for Israel  |  June 28, 2024

As war in the north looms, Israel saw as many as 40 rockets launched at the northern border by the Hezbollah terror group on Thursday, reports The Times of Israel:

Hezbollah launched a barrage of some 40 rockets at northern Israel on Thursday afternoon, in what the terror group said was a response to recent Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, including the killing of one of its operatives earlier in the day.

The exchange of fire came as American intelligence expected a major escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in the coming weeks in the absence of a ceasefire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Politico reported.

An unnamed senior US official told the outlet that the risk of war is higher than it has been for weeks. The officials said that a major attack by either side, which could spark a war, could happen with “little notice.”
