Israel carries out wave of Lebanon airstrikes after major Hezbollah rocket, drone attack on north
- July 4, 2024
Israel says it is carrying out a wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon following Hezbollah’s major rocket and drone attack on northern Israel.
Several rocket launchers have been hit so far, the military says.
The IDF does not provide the number of rockets and drones launched by Hezbollah, but says air defenses and fighter jets shot down several projectiles. Hezbollah claimed to have launched 200 rockets and a swarm of drones.
Fires were sparked a result of some of the rocket and drone impacts, the military says. It does not immediately provide information on potential casualties in the attacks.
The IDF also confirms that sirens that sounded in Ilaniya, some 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Lebanon, were false alarms.
