2 Israelis injured in rocket attack from Lebanon amid ongoing escalation

Attack follows death of at least 19 people in new Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon

JERUSALEM (AA) – Two Israelis were injured in a rocket attack from Lebanon on Wednesday amid an escalation in cross-border warfare with the Lebanese group Hezbollah.


One of the injured was in serious condition after a rocket hit Sa’ar settlement in Western Galilee in northern Israel, the Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom said.


Israeli Channel 12 said 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Galilee region this afternoon.


The attack came after at least 19 people were killed and dozens injured in a new wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon on Wednesday, according to Lebanese health authorities.


Israel has pounded several areas in Lebanon since Monday morning amid an escalation in cross-border warfare with Hezbollah.


More than 580 people have since been killed and over 1,900 others injured, according to figures released by the Health Ministry.


Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border clashes since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 41,500 people, mostly women and children, following a cross-border attack by Hamas last Oct. 7.


The international community has warned against the strikes on Lebanon, as they raise the specter of spreading the Gaza conflict regionally.
