Hezbollah said on Thursday that the previous day’s deadly attack on Avivim, a border moshav in Israel’s Upper Galilee, was carried out using “Noor-1” rockets.

Ten out of 50 rockets fired by the terrorist group reportedly scored direct hits, killing an IDF soldier, lightly wounding three other soldiers and causing widespread property damage, with 12 homes and agricultural facilities hit.

The rockets ignited fires that took 15 crews hours to get under control.

“Large parts of the moshav were destroyed,” Eyal Peretz, a community board member, told Ynet. “Homes, property, packing houses and farmland—the damage is heartbreaking.”

Amid Sofer, head of the Merom HaGalil Regional Council, told Ynet: “I don’t understand how residents are expected to even consider returning when rockets are still falling. Security means no sirens, no rockets.”
