Hezbollah has opened a second front against Israel by launching over 150 rockets at northern Israeli communities in solidarity with Iran. The Lebanese militia's barrage represents its largest single attack in decades, targeting towns and military positions across the Galilee, Golan Heights, and as far south as Haifa.
The IDF has responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, including missile storage facilities, launch sites, and command infrastructure. The Israeli military has mobilized reserve units and reinforced the northern border. Residents in northern Israel within 40 km of the Lebanese border have been ordered to shelters.
Hezbollah's intervention significantly complicates the military situation for Israel, which is now fighting on two fronts simultaneously. Hezbollah's arsenal is estimated at 130,000-150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided munitions that can reach Tel Aviv. The risk of a full-scale Israel-Lebanon war is now considered extremely high.
