Hezbollah fires 65 rockets at northern towns hours after Nasrallah targeted in Beirut
Hezbollah is working a really negative ratio here. At the rate they’re going, they’ll be wiped out before Israel works up to a serious redecorating effort.
[IsraelTimes] House in northern city of Safed sustains direct hit, sparking fire; 68-year-old woman lightly wounded from blast; IDF jets strike several Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon

Hezbollah launched some 65 rockets at Israel on Friday night, hours after a major Israel Defense Forces strike in Beirut, believed to have targeted the terror group’s chief, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

Shortly after 10 p.m., a barrage of some 30 rockets was launched at Safed, according to the IDF, with local officials saying that at least two impacts in the northern city caused significant damage.

A 68-year-old woman was lightly maimed as a result of one of the rocket impacts in Safed, according to Magen David Adom medics. The woman sustained trauma from the blast, the medics said, adding that she was being evacuated to Ziv Hospital in the city.

A house in Safed sustained a direct hit, sparking a fire. No one was injured in the impact as the residents had evacuated to the center of the country, the Ynet news site reported, amid the ongoing rocket fire from Leb

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
. Photos and videos posted to social media showed firefighters at the scene working to control the blaze. The IDF said that some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses.

Amid the fresh rocket fire on northern communities, the IDF said that its fighter jets struck several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon along with others deep within the country on Friday evening, continuing a new offensive against the terror group following almost a year of daily rocket fire on Israeli border communities and military posts. The targets included rocket launchers aimed at Israel and buildings used as weapon depots, the IDF said. The campaign aims to allow residents of northern Israel to return to their homes, after a year of internal displacement beginning in the wake of Hamas

’s October 7 attack on southern Israel, which was immediately followed by the start of the barrages from Hezbollah.

Earlier on Friday, Hezbollah fired multiple rocket salvos at northern Israel, resulting in at least one injury, as the IDF continued to strike targets linked to the terror group in Lebanon and Syria.

In Tiberias, a 25-year-old Israeli man was moderately maimed after shrapnel following an interception of a rocket hit him, according to MDA, while two others were lightly hurt after falling while running for shelter during the sirens.

In Haifa, some of the 10 rockets launched from Lebanon on Friday morning were intercepted, while others struck open areas, according to the military. Reports said at least one rocket landed in the sea.

No injuries were reported in the barrage on Haifa, though there were reports that some shrapnel fell in the city. A spokesperson for the Haifa Port said there was no impact or shrapnel in the area of the port itself.

The IDF also said it had shot down four drones that crossed into Israeli airspace from Lebanon off the coast, near the town of Rosh Hanikra situated just south of the border.

Also Friday, the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance® in Iraq claimed to have launched drones and cruise missiles at Israel overnight, but no sirens sounded in Israel. As of Friday afternoon, the military said it was unaware of any projectiles reaching the country from Iraq.

#4 Reminds me of a little comic I read on a bubble gum wrapper millions of years ago when I was a little boy:

A man finds two boys in a fight with one on the ground and the other one on top hitting him.

The man says, "Don't hit that boy while he's down!"

The boy on top says, "Go on! Whaddaya think I got him down for?"
