Israel is currently under massive rocket fire from Lebanese territory

More than XNUMX missiles were fired into Israel.

At least 120 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon on Thursday afternoon. There is no word yet on who is behind the attack, but the rocket attacks came just hours after the Lebanese group Hezbollah said it would support "every measure" that Palestinian groups could take against Israel following clashes at Al Mosque. -Aksa on the Mount of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Sirens turned on in the cities of Bezet and Shlomi in the western Galilee, close to the border with Lebanon. It is known that Israeli air defense systems managed to intercept most of the missiles, however, at least 5 missiles exploded on Israeli territory - there are wounded.

A video has surfaced online showing traces of smoke from Iron Dome interceptor missiles. The rescue service reported that one person received minor injuries from shrapnel, and a woman was injured while running for cover.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received information about the incident, which fell on the first day of the Passover holiday. He will conduct an assessment with military and security officials, his office said.

The alleged rocket attack came amid tensions following rocket attacks from Gaza, clashes at the Al-Aqsa mosque on Mount Temple in Jerusalem, and an alleged Iranian drone launch from Syria earlier in the week.

After these incidents, Hezbollah reaffirmed its willingness to enter the conflict. While it is possible that the rocket fire from Lebanon was carried out by Palestinian groups based there, it is unlikely that they would have done so without the approval of the group that controls southern Lebanon.

"Hezbollah categorically condemns the attack by the Israeli occupying forces on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and their attacks on worshipers", Hezbollah said in a statement. "Hezbollah expresses its full solidarity with the Palestinian people and resistance groups and promises that it will stand with them in all the measures they take to protect the worshipers, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to dissuade the enemy from continuing their attacks.", the group said.

At the moment, it is known that in response to the shelling, Israel carried out strikes on Lebanese territory.
