"Hezbollah let off successive volleys of rockets and drone swarms at Israel on Wednesday night, injuring two people, with most of the projectiles either being intercepted or falling into open areas. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said later that they had carried out some strikes with Hezbollah. In a statement carried by the Fars and Tasnim news agencies, the Guards said the joint and integrated operation involved a missile attack by Iran carried out in conjunction with missile and drone fire from Hezbollah."
"The operation focused on more than 50 targets on Israeli territory, the statement added, including Israeli military bases in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Beersheba. The attack by Hezbollah was the most intense launched by the pro-Iran group since it first fired rockets at Israel 10 days earlier, triggering a retaliatory military campaign by Israel."
"Israeli warplanes began bombing Lebanon nearly immediately after Hezbollah's strikes. The skies of Beirut were lit red and windows around the capital city shook as Israel unleashed its most powerful bombardment of the southern suburbs yet in this round of fighting. Videos showed collapsed buildings in southern Lebanon and streets choked with smoke."
Hezbollah launched successive volleys of rockets and drone swarms at Israel on Wednesday night, injuring two people, with most projectiles intercepted or landing in open areas. Iran's Revolutionary Guards coordinated with Hezbollah in a joint operation targeting over 50 Israeli military targets including bases in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Beersheba. This represented the most intense Hezbollah attack since initiating strikes 10 days earlier and marked the first coordinated Iranian-Hezbollah assault since the conflict began. Israel responded with immediate bombardment of Beirut's southern suburbs and southern Lebanon, unleashing its most powerful strikes yet. Lebanon emerged as the region's most intense fighting zone amid the broader Middle Eastern conflict.
