NAHARIYA, Israel (AP) — Hezbollah fired over 100 rockets early Sunday across northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa, as Israel launched hundreds of strikes on Lebanon. A Hezbollah leader declared an “open-ended battle” was underway as both sides appeared to be spiraling closer toward all-out war.
The overnight rocket barrage was in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon that have killed dozens, including a veteran Hezbollah commander, and an unprecedented attack targeting the group’s communications devices. Air raid sirens across northern Israel sent hundreds of thousands of people scrambling into shelters.
One struck near a residential building in Kiryat Bialik, a city near Haifa, wounding at least three people and setting buildings and cars ablaze. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said four people were wounded.
Avi Vazana raced to a shelter with his wife and 9-month-old baby before he heard the rocket hitting. Then he went back outside to see if anyone was hurt.
“I ran without shoes, without a shirt, only with pants. I ran to this house when everything was still on fire to try to find if there are other people,” he said.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said three people were killed and four wounded in Israeli strikes near the border, without saying whether they were civilians or combatants.

“Hezbollah hits back with rockets as it declares an ‘open-ended battle’ with Israel”
Has there been a year in the past 3 decades without a headline like this one?
This has been true since the creation of the State of Israel in 1947. Many wars with Arab neighbors since, this latest Hezbollah public relations posture is nothing new. Radical Islam at war with Jews since its inception, 1,400+ years ago.
Like that’s something new?
Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi, Harris. The letter H is getting abused.
< /eyeroll>
“OK Abdul, when you see three puffs of smoke, light off the rocket and run like hell!”
Israel has shown more restraint then the US would. If Mexico (or Cuba) was sending rockets into the US our entire military force would be sent to clear out the “terrorist” and then go after those supplying the rockets.
If the combined military of Egypt, Syria and Jordan could not conquer Israel what chance does Hezbollah?
All they have is terrorism.
At some point Israel will have to take out Iran.
One report from IDF says 800 Hezbollah targets hit today. 800.
Lebanon says 275 dead, 1000 wounded, known so far today.
Significant escalation in the last hour. I’ve gotten more rocket alerts than ever. Lots of air strikes happening now.
FAFO
Joe? Joe? Kamelinin? Hello? Guess peace talks are off for the week?
You’re over there? Stay safe
yes and no.
During the arab conquest of the levant, north africa, egypt and spain, the arabs were supported by J. It was a misplaced support
No, sorry for the confusion. I track the live rocket alerts with an app called Tzofar deigned for Israeli citizens.
stay safe
Oh
