On Sunday, the Israeli military confirmed that approximately 75 projectiles were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that sirens were activated in the Upper and Central Galilee regions, with the projectiles crossing into Israeli territory.
The IDF reported that some of the incoming projectiles were successfully intercepted, while others caused damage upon impact. In the town of Tamra in Galilee, a building sustained direct hits, resulting in a fire and damage to nearby vehicles. Several individuals were injured in the incident and were promptly transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Furthermore, the Israeli military announced the elimination of a Hezbollah commander, identified as Ahmed Jafar Maatouk, who was reportedly in charge of operations in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon. Subsequently, the IDF confirmed the death of Maatouk's successor the following day, noting the individual's involvement in orchestrating attacks on northern Israel.
The exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon underscores the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly along the border shared by the two countries. The IDF remains vigilant in monitoring threats emanating from Lebanon and is prepared to respond to any further provocations.
As the situation continues to develop, both Israeli and Lebanese authorities are closely monitoring the events and assessing the impact of the recent hostilities on the region's security and stability.
