The Lebanese Hezbollah movement fired about 80 rockets from Lebanon towards Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
“At 11:30 p.m. (00:30 Moscow time), approximately 80 rockets fired by the terrorist organization Hezbollah crossed into Israel from Lebanon today (Saturday, November 16).” – the army said in a statement.
Israel has been carrying out a ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon since October 1 and continues aerial bombardments. Hezbollah is fighting ground battles and does not stop firing rockets into Israeli territory.
The main objective of the military campaign in Israel is to create conditions for the return of 60,000 northern residents who were evacuated due to bombings launched by Hezbollah a year ago in support of Hamas.
