Hezbollah has launched a massive rocket barrage at northern Israel, firing nearly 100 projectiles in retaliation for the killing of a senior commander in a Israeli airstrike.
The attack has raised concerns of an escalating military confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides preparing for war.
The Israeli military confirmed the killing of Taleb Abdullah, a top Hezbollah commander, along with three other fighters in the strike.
In response, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets from Lebanese territory, with many intercepted by Israeli defenses.
However, several rockets landed, causing fires but no reported casualties.
The attack marks one of the largest rocket barrages launched by Hezbollah since the start of the war on Gaza, and has sparked fears of a wider conflict in the region.
