Tensions along the Lebanon–Israel border have sharply escalated as Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets toward northern Israel, overwhelming the Iron Dome defense system. Air raid alerts were issued in Haifa, Acre, and Krayot, causing widespread panic and the closure of schools and offices. The attacks also included drones, short-range missiles, and commando operations targeting military bases and installations, including sites in Tel Aviv. Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom reported at least 16 injuries.

Israeli intelligence described Hezbollah’s rockets as heavy, fast, and long-range, capable of reaching southern Israel. Military analysts warned that Israel faces severe strain fighting on both the Gaza and Lebanon fronts simultaneously, with limited reserves and air defense capacity. Experts estimated that industrial regions in Haifa and Galilee could suffer up to 40% economic damage if dual-front conflict continues. The U.S. administration has reportedly advised Israel to avoid direct war with Hezbollah.

In Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 400 people, leaving many displaced. Humanitarian agencies are operating near the border as civilians seek safety amid ongoing bombardments.
