Northern Israel – 30 July 2024
1. Plume of smoke rising from what appears to be rocket fired from Lebanon
STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising in northern Israel on Tuesday from what appears to be a rocket fired from Lebanon.
Also on Tuesday Israeli authorities said that a man was killed when a rocket from Lebanon slammed into a kibbutz in the country’s north.
The death comes days after 12 Druze children and teens were killed when a rocket from Lebanon slammed into a soccer field in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
Israel blamed Hezbollah for the strike, although the militant group denied a role.
Israeli emergency medical service Magen David Adom said the man killed was 30 years old and died after sustaining shrapnel wounds.
The Israeli military said about 10 projectiles crossed into Israel from Lebanon, most of which were intercepted.
Hezbollah said it attacked an army barracks in retaliation for earlier Israeli airstrikes near the southern Lebanese village of Jibsheet that injured several people.
The bloodshed threatens to push Israel and Hezbollah toward all-out war after months of low-level cross border fighting that erupted soon after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
The fighting has killed more than 500 people, including 90 civilians, in Lebanon.
On the Israeli side, 22 soldiers and 25 civilians have been killed.
Tens of thousands have evacuated their homes on both sides of the border.
