Hezbollah fired around 200 rockets and drones at Israel overnight, Israel’s military said, in a sharp escalation that shows the Iranian-backed Lebanese militia is still an effective fighting force after being battered by Israel in earlier fighting.

Since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF has conducted nearly 200 strikes in its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

We just want to be back in our homes,” said a Lebanese man who, like many others in the latest round of fighting, has to flee.

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon are driving thousands of families to flee again, and some longtime Hezbollah supporters are now openly blaming the group

In a statement on Thursday, the Israeli military said Mohammadi served as the operations commander of the IRGC’s missile unit embedded within Hezbollah and was responsible for coordinating missile-related activities between the Lebanese militant group and Iranian officials.

The country is waiting to see if the government seizes on this moment to disarm the Iranian-backed armed group and how the militants will respond.

Iran is disrupting shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of a major shock to global energy supplies.

Hezbollah terrorists launched about 200 rockets against northern Israel in a single barrage on Wednesday night, according to public broadcaster KAN News.
