60,000 Israelis in the northern town of Nahariya rushed to shelters today to escape Hezbollah missiles.
Israeli media spoke of panic-stricken residents of these areas who were surprised by the intensity of the Hezbollah retaliation.
Aside from Nahariya, the estimated 80 rockets fired by Hezbollah have also reached the Meron and other settlements.

For its part, the Israeli army said that it had targeted what it claimed to be infrastructure and military positions belonging to Hezbollah.
The Israeli bombings, according to the army’s X account, were largely located in the Bint Jbeil district.
Below is a statement published by Hezbollah using its Telegram Channel.
The statement is published here in its original form.
“The fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted the settlements of Sa’ar and Gesher HaZiv with dozens of Katyusha rockets, as part of the response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on the steadfast southern villages, safe homes, and targeting of civilians, especially the horrific massacre in the town of Umm al-Tout, resulting in three child martyrs.”
