Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged several salvos of direct and indirect fires since the October 7th incursion by Hamas which killed more than 1200 Israelis. The Palestinian Authority has reported that more than 2300 Palestinians have been killed and more than 10,000 have been injured since the Israeli reaction to the Hamas attack.
These reports also came as several rockets fired from the al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas. Those rockets impacted in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, sending Knesset representatives into bomb shelters as Iron Dome intercepted several, but not all, of the projectiles. From that barrage, casualties have been reported in Holon as of this publication.
