STORYLINE:
A rocket fired from Lebanon killed two people in the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on Wednesday.
Hezbollah claimed the strike on Kiryat Shmona, saying it targeted “a gathering of enemy forces” with a rocket salvo.
Ofir Yehezkeli, the town’s acting mayor, said the two people killed were a couple who were walking their dogs when a rocket fell near them.
Firefighters were seen working on Wednesday to extinguish a fire after a rocket hit a residential building.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group 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 incursion.
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.
