Hezbollah fires rockets at Kiryat Shmona in response to killing of civilians

Hezbollah on Sunday said it fired rockets at Israel’s north in response to the killing of Lebanese civilians in an Israeli drone strike earlier in the day.

“In response to the brutal and ugly crime that the Zionist enemy committed this afternoon by targeting a civilian car on the al-Maaysra road between Ainata and Aitaroun, which resulted in the martyrdom of a woman and her three toddler grandchildren, the jihadi fighters of the Islamic Resistance shelled the Kiryat Shmona settlement with several Katyusha rockets,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

It added that it “will never tolerate attacks against civilians” and that its responses will be “firm and powerful.”

Israeli retaliated by firing four shells at the Hounin Valley.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli army spokesman had said that an "Israeli citizen" had been killed by Hezbollah missile fire Sunday.
