The Lebanese terror group Hezbollah and Hamas’ Lebanese branch sharply escalated their attacks over the weekend, lobbing some 110 rockets at Israel between Friday and Saturday afternoon, Israel Defense Forces reported.

Unlike most attacks from Lebanon which are claimed by Hezbollah, on Saturday, Hamas’ Lebanon branch took responsibility for some of the launches, stating that they were a retaliation for Israel’s military activity in Gaza.

Hezbollah’s rocket barrages began after Israel carried out several targeted eliminations, killing four terrorists in Lebanon on Friday.

Shortly afterward, about 65 rockets were launched at Israeli targets, including in the Upper Galilee, the northern Golan Heights, and the Western Galilee. No casualties or significant damage were caused in the attacks, with most rockets falling in open areas.

The IDF said it struck a rocket launcher used in the attacks shortly after, before attacking weapons depots near Bleyda and Houla.

Israeli fighter jets also struck ammunition depots near Tir Harfa. “During the attacks, secondary explosions were detected in the area, indicating the presence of weapons in the buildings,” the IDF stated.

The following day, Israeli aerial defense systems shot down a Hezbollah drone over Lebanese territory.

In the early afternoon, Lebanese media reported that an alleged Israeli strike targeted a vehicle close to the border, wounding several people.

Hezbollah then launched 30 rockets toward the Golan Heights and Upper Galilee, most of which fell in open areas and caused wildfires. One rocket struck a factory in Kibbutz Amir.

Hamas later fired 10 rockets at targets in Western Galilee, damaging a home and a greenhouse, before again firing an additional five rockets near Kiryat Shmona. No casualties were caused by the attacks.

The IDF announced shortly that a rocket launcher used in the first barrage was struck in the area of Deir Sirin, as well as another rocket launcher in Aitaroun.
