Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah escalated once again as missile strikes targeted northern Israel, forcing more than a million Israelis to seek shelter.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that Hezbollah launched a series of missiles at Haifa and other northern regions earlier today, causing widespread panic and disruption.
The attacks prompted immediate responses from Israeli emergency services, with citizens across affected areas being advised to stay indoors and follow safety protocols.
Air raid sirens blared across northern Israel as families scrambled to bomb shelters, reminiscent of previous escalations in the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
This latest attack underscores the volatile security situation in the region, as both sides remain locked in a cycle of retaliatory actions.
The IDF has vowed to take all necessary measures to protect Israeli citizens and respond decisively to any threat from Hezbollah.
No casualties have been reported so far, but tensions are expected to remain high as the situation continues to unfold.
Earlier, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) launched a series of airstrikes on key military targets in Yemen controlled by the Houthi regime, marking a strong retaliatory response to recent attacks on Israel.
The strikes targeted power plants, a seaport, and critical infrastructure used by the Houthis to facilitate the transfer of Iranian weapons and military supplies into the region.
According to the IDF, the Houthis, with the backing of Iran and in cooperation with Iraqi militias, have been actively working to destabilize the region and directly threaten Israeli security.
Over the past year, the Houthis have launched several coordinated attacks aimed at Israel, posing a significant threat to regional stability and international shipping routes.
In response, the IAF’s precision strikes targeted facilities integral to the Houthis’ military operations, severely disrupting their ability to transfer weapons and oil, which fund their activities.
The IDF emphasized that Israel will not hesitate to operate against threats, whether near or far, and remains committed to protecting its citizens from hostile forces.
