Dozens of rockets fired into Israel from Lebanon, IDF says | BBC News

A "barrage" of rockets have been fired into northern Israel from Lebanon, according to the Israeli army, as Hezbollah targeted industrial and military sites.

Most of the 105 rockets were intercepted, though some homes were hit, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Video posted online overnight, so far unverified by the BBC, appears to show a fire in a residential area near Haifa after it was hit by a Hezbollah rocket.

As fears increase that the conflict may break out into a full-scale war, the US Embassy in Beirut has urged US citizens to "depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available”.

Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Thursday that Israel was entering a "new phase of the war" concentrating more of its efforts in the north.

Why is Israel always "attacking" and Lebanon are always "responding" according to the BBC?

[wordscapes]

Hezbollah has launched over 100 aerial “threats” . What a strange headline.

When will people learn that there's no winning in war only loosing lives. This greed in power and pride will erase humanity in the face of the world. Praying for peace and love to all ❤❤❤

terrorists do not like to be terrorized

[bananenbrot]

Showing northern Israel while writing "southern Lebanon" was no accident and you know it 😂

[Coreanofilos]

Imagine how many civilian casualties Israel would have without the iron dome.
Israel’s ability to protect its citizens doesn’t undermine Hamas and Hezbollah’s intent to cause harm to the civilian population.

Lebanon 🇱🇧 has the right to defend itself

[FixedA]

Since Islam took over Lebanon, the country has become one of the poorest in the world

[xxxzzz]

Why do reporters always call the attacks from Lebanon "rockets" and not "missiles".

[SigmaSigma-wdwl]

Why BBC not talking about innocent life lost in Gaza and Lebanon

Hey, I'm Lebanese and against Hezb0llah. Can someone help us, we don't want to be human shields pls.

[NAk-simk]

Lebanon has the right to defend itself.

[yakov]

Lebanon has not right to attack Israel for whole year without Israeli response....

[servanttv]

And nobody is asking Hezbollah or Lebanese if those rockets thrown into Israel are war crimes, but once Israel respond you journalists will asking if the attack is a war crime. The hypocrisy is too much

[aucontraire]

As yes, the religion of peace at it again.

[InnocentCharlesp]

If Israel 🇮🇱 fight against Hamas for more than one year then do you think they can easily fight Hezbollah? Stupid reporting by foolish journalist.

[minarikp]

"Lebanon is being dragged into a conflict with Israel". I love the phrasing like it's someone else's fault. It's not them who attacked Israel. They are the victim here. Sure... If you keep repeating the lies, you may even believe them yourselves. The rest of the world would not.
