Hezbollah Launches Rocket Attacks on Northern Israel in Retaliation for 4 Fighters Killed
The Israel Defense Forces said it was 'now responding with artillery fire'
Hezbollah claimed responsibility Monday for shelling northern Israel in an escalation of hostilities along a new, second front in the war that erupted in the south two days ago.
The Iran-backed militant group said it used guided missiles and mortars to attack two locations, according to a post on X by Roi Kais, Arab affairs correspondent for Israel's public broadcasting service Kan.
Hezbollah reportedly said the move was a response to Israeli strikes that killed at least four of its fighters.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the attacks and said it had retaliated.
"In response to the launches detected a short time ago from Lebanese territory towards Israeli territory, the IDF forces are now responding with artillery fire," it said on X.
