Tensions have escalated between Israel and Hezbollah as a series of attacks across Israel have been reported. Hezbollah has utilized mosques as cover to launch 30 rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, including an anti-tank missile strike on the Greek Orthodox Church of Iqrit in northern Israel, which injured a civilian. The IDF responded with a rescue operation that resulted in nine soldiers being wounded, one seriously, as they evacuated the injured civilian. Additionally, a poultry farm in northern Israel was struck by a missile, and a synagogue in Sdot Negev, southern Israel, was hit, resulting in total destruction but no casualties. The IDF has intercepted several rockets, including six over Ashkelon and eight of the 18 targeting Rosh HaNikra, with some not intercepted as per policy. The Israeli Air Force has conducted attacks on terrorist targets and Hezbollah military installations in Lebanon. Hezbollah claims to have targeted Kiryat Shmona with thirty rockets in retaliation for Israeli actions in Bint Jbeil, and also attacked Israeli army positions in the settlement of Doviv with a suicide drone. Reports indicate that buildings in Kiryat Shmona were directly hit by rocket fire, and an elderly man praying at a church in northern Israel was injured after a Hezbollah strike. The IDF has identified and eliminated the terrorist responsible for the anti-tank missile launched at the church.
