Dozens of rockets were launched on Tuesday morning from South Lebanon towards Israeli locations in the Galilee and the Golan Heights. The Israeli Army reported that 100 rockets targeted the Golan Heights from Lebanon. It also reported that its warplanes “attacked a short while ago three platforms from which rockets were launched towards the Golan Heights this morning.”
Hezbollah retaliated this morning in response to the strikes that hit Baalbeck on Monday night for the second time since the hostilities began between the Iran-backed party and the Israelis. A wood-packing warehouse between the villages of Chmestar and Taraya was targeted, as was a two-storey building in the vicinity of al-Amal hospital in Ansar, east of Baalbeck. One person was killed and six were injured.
For its part, the Israeli army claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it had targeted “a maintenance center belonging to Hezbollah.”
Earlier in the evening, at around 7 PM yesterday, the warplanes raided the town of Naqoura, targeting an uninhabited house, leading to its complete destruction and causing significant damage to many surrounding houses and severe material damage to properties and infrastructure, especially the electricity and water networks.
