Lebanon fires dozens of rockets into Israel

During the latest attack on the northern territories of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recorded the launch of about 20 rockets from the territory of Lebanon, according to the army press service.

“Part of the projectiles were intercepted,” the IDF press service said in a statement, Caliber.Az reports.

Shortly before that, the army reported an air alert in and around Haifa, the largest city in the north of the country.

Prior to this, rockets fired by Hezbollah continued to pummel Israel throughout October 14, setting off sirens as far south as Ness Ziona, as Israel continued to strike in Lebanon after a drone strike a day earlier killed four IDF soldiers.

On the same day, around 10 rockets were fired at the Haifa area, and the IDF said that most were intercepted and some fell in open areas. Not long afterward, a barrage of rockets set off sirens in Netanya, Baqa al-Gharbiyye and several dozens surrounding towns. The IDF said it intercepted all of the rockets fired from Lebanon, and no injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, on October 14 afternoon, the IDF said that it had killed Muhammad Kamel Naim, the head of the anti-tank missile array of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, in an airstrike in southern Lebanon’s Nabatiyeh.
