Hezbollah rocket strikes Israel's Tira, leaving multiple casualties VIDEO

In an overnight attack, Hezbollah launched rockets from Lebanon, with one rocket hitting a three-story apartment building in the Israeli city of Tira.

The local ambulance service announced that eight individuals were near the building at the time of the strike, Caliber.Az reports citing Israeli media.

Among them, a 17-year-old boy and a 22-year-old woman sustained moderate injuries, while five others were lightly wounded.

Subsequent reports clarified that a total of 11 people were injured by shrapnel and glass shards. Additionally, seven others required medical assistance due to nervous shock. The victims were taken to hospitals in Kfar Saba, Petah Tikva, and Tel Shomer, with three individuals in moderate condition and the rest suffering from minor injuries. All of the injured are members of the same family.

The mayor of Tira confirmed that a rocket struck a three-story house. Rescue services are currently working at the site to check if anyone else in the damaged building requires medical attention.

Tira has a population of approximately 27,000 residents, nearly all of whom are Muslim Arabs. In October alone, the Hezbollah movement based in Lebanon reportedly conducted over 4,400 rocket attacks on Israeli territory, as stated by the Israel Defense Forces.

Additionally, during ground operations in Lebanon, the Israeli armed forces discovered more than 3,000 explosive devices, approximately 2,500 rockets, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Kornet anti-tank missile systems, and various launchers.

In October 2023, following Hamas's attacks on Israel's border areas and the subsequent conflict in Gaza, Hezbollah declared its support for Hamas and engaged in hostilities against Israel, frequently shelling northern Israeli territories and causing evacuations among the local population.

On September 27, 2024, an Israeli airstrike in Beirut resulted in the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, during a meeting of the group's leadership in an underground command centre in the Dahiya neighbourhood of southern Beirut.
