Hezbollah has claimed to have launched over 200 rockets in their largest rocket barrage since October 8th, when clashes between Hezbollah and Israel began.

Massive fires have broken out in areas of Golan Heights, and a series of injuries have been reported; however, exact casualty counts are unknown at this time.



Hezbollah released a statement saying that the barrage is in direct response to Israel’s assassination of Muhammad Nimah Nasser, also known as al-Hajj Abu Nimah, a senior commander in Hezbollah’s military force.

The barrage brings the total number of rockets launched toward Israel in the last day to 300.

A number of drone infiltrations have also been reported. However, it is unclear the exact amount of drones Hezbollah has launched.
