Hezbollah fired 250 rockets that destroyed homes near Tel Aviv

Hezbollah fired heavy rockets into Israel on Sunday, destroying or burning homes near Tel Aviv and wounding at least four people by shrapnel, the Israeli military said. The attack comes a day after powerful Israeli air strikes in Beirut, Lebanon, killed at least 29 people.

The Israeli military said Hezbollah fired 250 rockets at Israel on Sunday, many of which were intercepted by Israeli forces and sirens sounded across much of the country.

Video obtained by Reuters showed a projectile exploding as it hit the roof of a house in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya.

Israeli police said there were multiple impact points in Petah Tikvah, east of Tel Aviv, and several people were lightly injured. The IDF said one neighborhood was hit directly by a rocket, resulting in "houses reduced to flames and rubble." Television footage showed an apartment building damaged by a rocket.

Israeli media said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a security cabinet meeting at 5 p.m. Sunday (11 p.m., Singapore time).

According to Lebanese security sources, two apartment buildings were bombed and destroyed by the Israeli military after a social media platform warned it would attack Hezbollah facilities in southern Beirut. The IDF subsequently announced that it had struck the command center, which was deliberately placed between civilian buildings.

The Israeli military said Sunday it struck 12 Hezbollah command centers in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyah. On Saturday, Israeli forces launched one of the deadliest and fiercest attacks ever on the heart of Beirut.

Lebanon's Health ministry raised the death toll Sunday from 20 to 29. A total of 84 people were killed on Saturday, bringing the Israeli-Lebanese conflict to 3,754 dead in Lebanon since October.
