On Thursday, a series of rocket barrages from Lebanon resulted in the deaths of at least seven people in northern Israel, marking the deadliest day of attacks since Israel's military invasion of Lebanon began in October. The assaults, attributed to Hezbollah, targeted agricultural areas near the city of Haifa, killing four foreign workers and an Israeli farmer in one strike, followed by additional attacks that left two more Israelis dead. These incidents occurred as U.S. diplomats were in the region advocating for cease-fires amid escalating tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas, both backed by Iran. The violence has intensified since the conflict reignited following Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Residents of affected areas, such as Metula, have been evacuated, leaving only security personnel and agricultural workers. The ongoing military operations have raised concerns over the safety of foreign workers in the region, as noted by local advocacy groups.
