Hezbollah takes responsibility for the barrage of rockets and attack drones on northern Israel this afternoon, claiming to have targeted several military bases.
The terror group in a statement says it launched Katyusha and Falaq rockets at six army bases in northern Israel, and several more swarms of explosive-laden drones at three more bases in the area.
The IDF reported that some 40 rockets crossed the border, many of which were intercepted by air defenses, but others impacted, causing at least 15 fires. Two men in their 20s were also lightly hurt by shrapnel.
Another seven “suspicious aerial targets” — thought to be drones — were identified, the military said. Four of the suspected drones were shot down by air defenses, the IDF says, adding that there were no injuries.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
