Five people were killed and one was seriously wounded on October 31 when a salvo of rockets, allegedly launched by Hezbollah, hit the Israeli settlement of Metula right on the border with Lebanon.
Hebrew media reported that the five were all agricultural laborers who had been working in the apple orchard at the time of the rocket attack. One was an Israeli citizen, while the others were foreign nationals. It is unclear how the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) allowed them to work in a military zone.
In a short statement, the IDF confirmed that two rockets had been fired from Lebanon at Metula, and said the details of the incident were being examined.
The deadly attack came after at least 30 people were killed in Israeli strikes on the Lebanese northeastern region of Baalbek a day earlier. It also came amid fierce clashes between Hezbollah and the IDF in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam.
The confrontation between Hezbollah and the IDF first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with the group launching attacks from Lebanon in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah.
The IDF officially announced the launch of a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on September 30.
The confrontation has so far resulted in 37 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 61 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 2,800 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah.
