Military says it struck a weapons factory, Hezbollah command room and other sites on Tuesday, as defense minister says 'center of gravity is moving' from Gaza to the north

The IDF’s aerial defense array intercepted rockets during two separate Saturday morning barrages, in which Hezbollah fired a total of over 55 rockets into Israeli territory from Lebanon, the military stated.

The attack follows a series of intensified cross-border hostilities, with Hezbollah recently launching more than 100 rockets into Israel. In response, the IDF carried out airstrikes targeting Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon,

Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets at Israel on September 4, the largest escalation since the group launched several hundred rockets on August 25. The attacks took place amid shifts on other fronts as Israel handles Iranian-sponsored threats.

The IDF later confirmed that approximately 20 rockets crossed into Israeli territory during this initial barrage. At 9:00 a.m., a second wave of sirens blared in towns across the Upper Galilee, as a further 35 rockets were fired.

Israeli fighter jets conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah rocket launchers in the southern Lebanese towns of Kounine and Qabrikha, which were previously used in attacks on Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced today. The military released footage of the strikes, targeting sites identified as sources of recent hostilities.
