Hezbollah rains rockets on Israel 

Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired barrages of rockets at Israel on Wednesday.

Hezbollah in statements said it launched ‘dozens of Katyusha rockets’ at three bases and a barracks in northern Israel.

Hezbollah also vowed to intensify its attacks after an Israeli strike killed a senior commander in south Lebanon the previous day.

“We will increase the intensity, strength, quantity and quality of our attacks,” said senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine, speaking at the funeral of commander Taleb Sami Abdallah, who was killed in Tuesday's Israeli strike.

Hezbollah has traded near-daily cross-border fire with the Israeli army since its Palestinian ally Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, triggering war in the Gaza Strip.

The exchanges have escalated in recent weeks, with Hezbollah stepping up its use of drones to attack Israeli military positions and Israel hitting back with targeted strikes against the militants.
