Hezbollah fired a large barrage of rockets at northern Israel on May 5 after a family of four was killed in southern Lebanon in a strike carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The deadly Israeli strike targeted the town of Meiss al-Jabal, a known stronghold of Hezbollah. A civilian man, his wife and two children were killed on the spot.
The IDF didn’t admit responsibility. However, it released a statement shortly after the strike saying its fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon overnight. The targets included a building in Khiam and an observation post in the town of Matmoura, according to the IDF, which also said its troops shelled areas near the towns of Halta and Naqoura with artillery to “remove threats”.
In response to the strike on Meiss al-Jabal, Hezbollah said it fired “dozens” of Katyusha and Falaq rockets at the settlement of Kiryat Shmona near the Lebanese border.
The IDF said that at least 20 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon at Kiryat Shmona. Only some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system. Hebrew media reported that two Israelis were wounded in the attack.
The rocket attack was likely just an initial response to the deadly Israeli strike. Hezobllah will likely escalate its attacks in the next few days.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza last October, Hezbollah and its allies began launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in the Strip.
So far, the clashes have resulted in nine civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 11 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 400 people have been killed, including 272 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 70 civilians.
