North 'under massive attack': Hezbollah unleashes rocket barrage on northern Israel

Almost Heaven

Well-known
Hezbollah fired more than 250 rockets into Israel on Wednesday after Israel killed Sami Taleb Abdullah, the most senior Hezbollah commander to be eliminated since October 7.

This was the largest one-day rocket attack since the war began and included for the first time in this conflict rocket attacks as far south as Tiberias.

The IDF said most rockets fell in open areas, some others were intercepted, and others fell in other locations.

Al Mayadeen reported that a number of Israeli military sites, including the Mount Meron air traffic control base, were targeted during the attacks.
The Israeli strike in the south Lebanon village of Jouaiya late on Tuesday killed three Hezbollah fighters alongside Abdallah, Hezbollah’s commander for the central region of the southern border strip, security sources in Lebanon said.
 
Massive Barrage Of Rockets Fired At Northern Israel After Top Hezbollah Commander Killed


Hezbollah announced the death of a senior commander in an alleged Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, as the terror group fired some 80 rockets at northern communities throughout the day amid increasing cross-border hostilities.

The Iran-backed group said in a statement that Taleb Abdullah, from the south Lebanon town of Aadachit, was killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” the terror organization’s term for Israeli strikes.

Abdullah was killed in a strike in the coastal town of Jouaiyya, some 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the border with Israel. The Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar newspaper reported that at least four other people were killed in the strike, while Lebanese security sources told Reuters that three other Hezbollah operatives were killed in the strike.

The security sources said the four Hezbollah members were likely targeted during a meeting.

In its statement, Hezbollah referred to Abdullah as a commander. The terror group rarely refers to its senior operatives slain in Israeli strikes as commanders. The only other operative referred to as a commander was Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy head of the terror group’s elite Radwan force, killed by Israel in January.

According to reports, Abdullah commanded a Hezbollah regional division in southern Lebanon.

 
That strike on Abdullah may reflect preparations by Israel to go into Lebanon soon. He's in charge of the highway north from Israel into Lebanon. Erik Stakelback was talking about it today and he brought up that point and the unusual point that Israel took credit for the kill.
