IDF Reports Hezbollah Launched 250 Missiles Into Israel
At least 29 people were killed and 67 others injured in central Beirut by an Israeli airstrike on Saturday, as reported by Lebanon’s Ministry of Health.
On Nov. 24, the Hezbollah terrorist group fired 250 projectiles into Israel, injuring residents in retaliation following an Israeli airstrike a day earlier that killed 29 people in Beirut, Lebanon.
In a social media post on Nov. 24, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that “millions of civilians” were seeking shelter due to rockets from Lebanon.
According to IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, houses were destroyed in Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv, following a direct hit on Sunday.
In response to the attacks, Shoshani wrote on social media that the IDF will defend civilians and retaliate against such aggression.
Israel’s national emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, reported treating two injured residents in Petah Tikva and three others in the Haifa region.
Hezbollah claimed to have launched a drone attack on the IDF’s Ashdod Naval Base, hitting the target accurately.
The group also attacked a military site in Tel Aviv with advanced missiles and an attack squadron on the same day.
The Israeli military targeted Hezbollah command centers in southern Beirut suburbs, striking civilians-embedded areas and issuing warnings before launching the strikes.
Prior to the attack, the IDF destroyed 12 Hezbollah command centers in Dahieh used for planning and executing attacks against Israel.
