Hezbollah fires dozens of rockets at Beit Hillel after Israeli attacks on civilians

Hezbollah said overnight it had launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at northern Israel.

The Iran-backed group said its latest attack, on Beit Hillel in northern Israel, was in response to Israel's attacks on Kfarkela and Deir Siriane in south Lebanon which, it said, had injured civilians there.

On Sunday, an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle in the southern border village of Rab Tlatine, causing no injuries.

The developments comes as Israel braces for a Hezbollah response to the killing of its military chief Fouad Shukur in a brazen strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Tuesday. That strike, in a dense residential neighborhood, also killed three women, two children and an Iranian military adviser while wounding over 80 people.
