Hezbollah launched at least 140 rockets into northern Israel on Friday in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese group targeted military sites, including Israel's 188th Armoured Brigade headquarters. This attack follows two days of intense exchanges after thousands of communication devices exploded in Lebanon, widely attributed to Israel, killing and injuring civilians. Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned the strikes, declaring them a "declaration of war." The conflict, which has seen daily exchanges of fire since October, continues to escalate as Israel seeks to restore control in the region. Ceasefire prospects remain uncertain.
