Several injured in northern Israel by Hezbollah rocket attack.

Several injured in northern Israel after an attack with more than 20 rockets from Hezbollah from Lebanon At least two people were seriously injured and two lightly on Sunday after several attacks with anti-tank missiles and rockets from southern Lebanon to northern Israel, in the midst of escalating tensions with the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah. The Israeli Army confirmed that a soldier was lightly injured after the launch of two anti-tank missiles against the town of Zar'it, very close to the border with Lebanon. The Israeli press reported that, in addition to the soldier, one Israeli citizen was lightly injured, and one American citizen was seriously injured in the same incident, and that the Army is investigating why two civilians were so close to the border. In addition, according to the Magen David Adom emergency service, a 28-year-old man was in "serious condition" on Sunday after receiving shrapnel wounds in the Lower Galilee area in northern Israel. "About 20 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon towards the Lower Galilee area, some of which were intercepted by the air defense," the Army said in a statement. The Army also indicated that early in the morning, sirens sounded for a suspicious aerial target in the Ramot Naftali area, which was "successfully intercepted." Anti-aircraft sirens sounded in dozens of localities in the Upper and Lower Galilee regions in response to the barrage of rockets claimed by Hezbollah. The shrapnel also caused fires in various parts of northern Israel, and firefighters are extinguishing fires near the Kidmat Galil industrial park, Kfar Zeitim, Lavi, and HaZorim. The rocket attack is likely a response to the death last night in an Israeli attack of the Hezbollah Shiite militia air defense commander, Maitham Mustafa Al Ataar, in Baalbek, in northeastern Lebanon, about 80 kilometers from the border with Israel. Al Ataar, whose death was also confirmed by Hezbollah, led many of the unit's activities and participated in the planning and execution of numerous attacks against the State of Israel, the Israeli Army said. "He also traveled to Iran several times, where he acquired knowledge and helped strengthen the force and arsenal of Iranian weapons of the terrorist organization Hezbollah," it added. On Thursday, Hezbollah launched the largest attack against Israel since October, with more than 200 rockets and 20 explosive drones along the entire border, in retaliation for the death of a senior commander of the group, Mohamad Nasser, the day before in an Israeli attack in the Tyre area, southern Lebanon. The border between Israel and Lebanon is experiencing its highest tension since 2006 with an intense exchange of fire since October, which has claimed the lives of at least 515 people, mostly on the Lebanese side and among Hezbollah ranks, which has confirmed about 328 militia and commander casualties, some in Syria. In Israel, 26 people have died, 16 military personnel and 10 civilians. Hostilities on the dividing line began on October 8, the day after the war broke out in the Gaza Strip, in solidarity with Hezbollah with the Islamist Palestinian militias in the enclave; although the crossfire has intensified, raising fears of an open war. Hezbollah sources have confirmed that if a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza - Israel and Hamas will negotiate a new proposal in Doha next week - it will immediately imply calm on the northern border of Israel; while the international community, especially the US and France, seeks a diplomatic solution to the looming conflict.
