Hezbollah Launches Rockets at Israel Amid Escalation

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at central and northern Israel early Tuesday, prompting air raid sirens in Tel Aviv. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that most of the projectiles were intercepted, with no immediate injuries or damages reported. This escalation follows a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah financial sites in Lebanon, resulting in at least four casualties in Beirut. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting Israel to facilitate ceasefire discussions amidst ongoing violence, which has intensified since Hamas's attacks on October 7, 2023. The IDF has also claimed significant success in dismantling Hezbollah's weaponry in southern Lebanon. Flight operations at Ben Gurion International Airport were temporarily halted due to the missile attacks.
