STORYLINE:
Mourners gathered on Thursday to attend the funeral of an Israeli woman who was killed, along with her partner, in a rocket attack fired from Lebanon into northern Israel the previous day.
The funeral took place in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba.
Revital Yehud, her partner Dvir Sharit and their three dogs were killed on Wednesday in the city of Kiryat Shmona when the rocket struck, according to a statement released by the city’s spokesperson.
The Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel in recent days as Israel has ramped up its airstrikes in Lebanon and pushed ahead with a ground invasion.
Most of the rockets have been intercepted or landed in open areas, but the barrages have grown more intense and have reached deeper into Israel, disrupting daily life.
Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack from Gaza into Israel ignited the war.
Hezbollah and Hamas are both allied with Iran, and Hezbollah said the attacks were in support of the Palestinians.
Israel retaliated with airstrikes, and the conflict escalated into a full-blown war last month.
