Hezbollah fires new salvo of missiles at northern Israel

The Lebanese Hezbollah militia has once again fired missiles at northern Israel, according to the Israeli army.

Air alert sirens sounded around the port city of Haifa and in Akko to the north, the army said, adding that five projectiles had been intercepted.

The Israeli rescue service Magen David Adom said there was initially no information on casualties.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for various attacks on northern Israel.

Within 24 hours, the Israeli air force has attacked around 200 Hezbollah targets deep in Lebanon and in the south of the country, according to military reports.

Israel's army has significantly intensified its campaign against the Hezbollah militia since September. This includes massive airstrikes and a ground offensive in Lebanon. Residents have reported severe destruction in numerous towns.
