- Hezbollah has launched an “unprecedented” rocket attack on northern Israel as the Israeli military pushed further into southern Lebanon on Tuesday.
The Shia militia fired over 100 missiles across the area of Haifa, a port city just 26 miles from the border between Israel and Lebanon, the Israeli military said.
The mayor of Kiryat Motzkin, which is nearby Haifa, described the scale of the barrage - largely intercepted by Israel’s air defence - as unprecedented.
It comes as Israeli troops have moved into south-west Lebanon after nine days of focusing on the south eastern side of the border - where Israel invaded on 30 September.
The 146th reservist division will carry out a “localised” ground operation alongside an artillery brigade against Hezbollah militants in the area, as up to 1.2million people have been displaced across Lebanon.
Overnight, Beirut’s southern suburbs were rocked by fresh Israeli airstrikes, with Israeli forces claiming it killed senior Hezbollah commander Suhail Hussein Husseini.
If confirmed, the death of Suhail Hussein Husseini would be the latest in a string of Israel’s assassinations of leaders and commanders of Hezbollah and its ally Hamas.

41000 terrorists un numnuts
Why in that opening dialogue did you not mention the pain and suffering of the citizens in Israel also? The cause of this misery was an act of terror which invaded they were the party that lit that match of carnage, not Israel. Where is your demand upon evil to stop it from firing rockets? were was your resolve to enforce 1701 to stop those rockets of intended death and misery?
That’s the problem with you, you think you are justified in your crimes Israel crimes against Gaza and Lebanon. You believe yourselves the eternal victims of humanity and go round committing crimes. Stop! Start respecting your neighbours
