The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have accused Palestinian groups of firing rockets from Lebanon into Israel. According to the IDF, four rockets were fired on Wednesday night, with two being intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. No casualties were reported. The IDF has stated that it holds the Lebanese government responsible for the rocket attack, as it claims that the firing was carried out from southern Lebanon.
This is not the first time that Palestinian groups have been accused of firing rockets from Lebanon into Israel. In August 2020, a similar rocket attack was carried out, which resulted in Israel retaliating with airstrikes on targets in Lebanon. The IDF has stated that it will respond to any such attacks in a similar manner, and has warned that it will not tolerate any aggression against its citizens.
The rocket attack comes at a time when tensions are already high in the region, with Israel and Palestine engaged in a long-standing conflict over land and borders. The attack has been condemned by the international community, with the United Nations calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, but it is clear that the conflict between Israel and Palestine shows no signs of abating.
