Hezbollah launched rockets at an Israeli intelligence base near Tel Aviv and other areas in northern Israel early Saturday, the Iran-backed group announced. The 2:30 AM attack targeted the Glilot base of Israel's 8200 military intelligence unit, as well as the city of Safed, according to Hezbollah's statement. This escalation is the latest in a year-long exchange of cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israel, sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Tensions intensified on September 23 when Israel ramped up the conflict. The region teeters on the brink of all-out war as displaced persons flee southern Lebanon.
