Following the assassination of its most senior commander to date overnight, Hezbollah on Wednesday launched its largest rocket barrage since October 7, setting off sirens in Tiberias for the first time since October.
Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets at northern Israel since the war's outbreak in October, primarily focusing on the Israel-Lebanon border region. In an unprecedented escalation, the group retaliated against Israel by targeting multiple sectors of the Galilee region.
Throughout Wednesday morning, Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets at Israeli towns and cities including Meron, Safed, Rosh Pinna and Tiberias. The latter has been home to approximately 12,000 displaced Israelis from the border region over the past eight months.

The Lebanese Hezbollah-owned network Al Manar reported rocket launches at Mount Dov, while the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al Akhbar reported Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon.
Reports in Israel claim that Hezbollah fired more than 160 rockets on Wednesday morning, resulting in fires in several locations.
