World

About 50 rockets have been fired from southern Lebanon towards upper Galilee, according to Israeli media.

Videos showed Israel’s Iron Dome defence system being activated over the area.

In a statement, Hezbollah said: “In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honourable resistance, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on the steadfast southern villages and safe homes, especially the attacks that targeted the villages of Kafr Kila and Deir Siryan and injured civilians, the Islamic Resistance included the new settlement of Beit Hillel in its fire schedule and bombarded it for the first time with dozens of Katyusha rockets.”

Israel is yet to comment on the incident.
