Hezbollah has vowed to avenge Israel’s killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut last week, prompting worries of a major escalation that could tip into a full-blown war.
Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah launched a series of drone and rocket attacks into northern Israel on Tuesday but warned that its much-anticipated retaliation for Israel’s killing of a top commander last week was yet to come.
Hezbollah said it launched a swarm of attack drones at two military sites near Acre in northern Israel, and also attacked an Israeli military vehicle in another location.
The Israeli military said a number of hostile drones were identified crossing from Lebanon and one was intercepted. It said several civilians were injured to the south of the coastal city of Nahariya.
