The Israel Defense forces (IDF) on Monday said that the Northern Israel was under attack after Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah launched a fresh strike.

According to Times of Israel, over 165 rockets were fired at northern Israel in which at least seven people, including a toddler, were injured.

“We will continue to defend our civilians against Hezbollah’s aggression,” said IDF in a post on X, while sharing a video.

The missile attack on northern city of Haifa also damaged buildings and vehicles in the area.

However, the Israel Defense Forces said that some 50 rockets were fired at the Galilee in the attack, while several rockets struck the Karmiel area and nearby towns

Some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses.

The attack comes as Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said that there had been “certain progress” toward a ceasefire in Lebanon.
