Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon fired a 45-rocket salvo at Acre and the surrounding area in northern Israel on Thursday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The Israel Police said that officers from the Coastal District were operating at the scene of a direct impact in Acre, with reports of several rockets falling into the sea. The IDF said that air defenses intercepted some of the projectiles, while others fell in open areas.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Earlier Thursday, Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck Hezbollah terror targets across Southern Lebanon, including weapons storage facilities. Several terrorists were killed in a strike near Kfarchouba.
Lebanese media reported an Israeli attack deep inside the country in Al-Labweh, north of Baalbek.
“The IDF is continuing to operate to dismantle and degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities and terrorist infrastructure,” the military said.
Overnight Wednesday, 75 Hezbollah terror targets, including ready-to-fire launchers, were hit in the Beqaa region of Southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and noncombatants, said dozens of people were killed during the Israeli strikes.
Also overnight, the IDF detected suspicious movements near Manara along the border with Lebanon, with troops opening fire and conducting scans of the area.
Three people were wounded in northern Israel on Wednesday by Hezbollah rocket fire, one seriously.
Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy inundated northern Israel with rocket fire during the day after launching a ballistic missile at the center of the country earlier in the morning, which was intercepted. The Israeli Air Force destroyed the launcher used in the attack, which was located in the area of Nafakhiye in Lebanon.
The Iranian proxy claimed that the target of the attack was the headquarters of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. However, Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani was quoted by Reuters as saying that the target cannot be confirmed.
“The result was a heavy missile, going towards Tel Aviv, toward civilian areas in Tel Aviv. The Mossad headquarters is not in that area,” he said.
