Hezbollah Rocket Attacks Kill One in Israel

On November 18, 2024, a rocket attack by Hezbollah struck the northern Israeli town of Shfar’am, killing a 50-year-old woman named Safaa Kat Awad and injuring at least ten others, some seriously. The attack, part of escalating violence amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, involved around 30 rockets aimed at various northern regions, with some intercepted by Israeli defenses. In a related incident, Hezbollah also targeted central Israel, causing injuries and damage, including a fire at a mall near Tel Aviv. The Israeli Defense Forces reported over 100 rockets launched by Hezbollah throughout the day, indicating a significant escalation in hostilities. Emergency services responded swiftly, evacuating the injured while local authorities began assessing the situation's emotional and physical toll on the community. This series of attacks underscores the volatile security situation in the region, exacerbated by Israel's military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah's retaliatory strikes.
