The IDF has seen a decrease in the number of rockets fired by Hezbollah at Israel in the past week, down to under 100 a day on average, compared with 150-200 a day last month and in the months before that.

Today, Hezbollah has fired at least 25 rockets at the north. Yesterday, the terror group launched 50, and the day before that it launched 55.

The major exception was on Monday, when Hezbollah launched 190 rockets at Israel, as the terror group commemorated its martyrs’ day.

The military assesses that Hezbollah is struggling to carry out major barrages, as most of its rocket stockpiles have been targeted and dozens of its commanders have been killed. Before the war, the IDF had assessed that Hezbollah would fire thousands of rockets per day in an escalation.
