Lebanon's Hezbollah movement launched heavy rocket barrages at Israel on Sunday, prompting widespread destruction and injuries near Tel Aviv. This escalation followed a powerful Israeli airstrike on Beirut the previous day, which killed at least 29 people and targeted Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs.
In response, Hezbollah fired precision missiles at military sites in Tel Aviv and its outskirts, fulfilling its earlier vow to retaliate against attacks on Beirut. The strikes caused multiple impact sites in Petah Tikvah and minor injuries among civilians. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported extensive damage, including houses destroyed or set ablaze, with rocket sirens sounding across the country.
On Saturday, Israel executed one of its deadliest strikes on Beirut, hitting residential areas and Hezbollah command centers embedded within civilian structures, according to IDF claims. Sunday's strikes targeted 12 more Hezbollah facilities in southern Beirut, heightening tensions as U.S.-led ceasefire talks showed signs of progress.
Lebanon's health ministry raised the death toll to 29 from Saturday’s attack, bringing the total fatalities in the conflict since October 2023 to 3,754. This intensifying violence underscores the fragility of the region as both sides continue to exchange devastating blows.
