The Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon has been firing rockets, drones and missiles into Israel daily, and drawing retaliatory strikes, since Hamas launched its Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack from the Gaza Strip, triggering the war there.
Tel Aviv, Israel — Rocket fire from Lebanon killed at least seven people in northern Israel on Thursday, including four foreign workers, in the deadliest of such attacks since Israel’s invasion earlier this month. The attacks on two separate locations came as senior U.S. diplomats were in the region to push for cease-fires in Lebanon and Gaza, hoping to wind down the raging wars between Israel and Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East in the Biden administration’s final months.
The conflict along Israel’s northern border escalated last month when the IDF launched a wave of heavy airstrikes across Lebanon and killed Hezbollah’s top leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and most of his deputies. Israeli ground forces then pushed into Lebanon at the start of October. Almost two dozen Israel forces have been killed in Lebanon since then, while Lebanese health authorities say the airstrikes have killed about 2,000 people across the country.
Reports from Syrian news outlets said at least five people were killed in the Thursday strikes.
