Hezbollah, Lebanon's Iran-backed group, launched "dozens of Katyusha rockets" at Israeli artillery positions, citing retaliation for Israeli strikes in the south. The Israeli army reported approximately 40 launches from Lebanese territory, some intercepted. No injuries were reported. Hezbollah's near-daily exchanges of cross-border fire with Israel have escalated since Hamas initiated conflict in October. Lebanese villages near the border faced Israeli bombardment. The violence has claimed at least 363 lives in Lebanon, predominantly Hezbollah fighters, with some civilian casualties.
