The IDF vows to respond to Hezbollah’s deadly rocket attacks on northern Israel today.

“Hezbollah rockets killed 7 innocent civilians inside Israel today. We will not let Hezbollah’s deadly attacks go unanswered,” the IDF says in an unusual English-language post on X.

Earlier, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, called on civilians near buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh, to evacuate immediately ahead of airstrikes.

Some 90 rockets were launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon at northern Israel today, according to an IDF tally.

Five men were killed in a rocket impact in a field near Metula, and a mother and son were killed in another strike in a grove near Haifa.
