Rocket salvo on northern Israel
Ten soldiers and eight civilians have been killed in northern Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, launched by Israel against Hamas in retaliation for an unprecedented attack carried out by the Palestinian Islamist movement on its soil on October 7.
Lebanese Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, announced Wednesday that it had launched a salvo of rockets on northern Israel in retaliation for a nighttime bombing, blamed on Israel, which killed seven
“rescuers”
in a border village.
