Rockets from Lebanon injure 6 in Israel

JERUSALEM (AA) – Six Israelis have been lightly injured as a barrage of rockets was fired from southern Lebanon in response to Israel’s attacks.

An Israeli military statement said 15 rockets were fired from Lebanon, triggering air-raid sirens in northern and central Israel.

The army said some of the rockets were intercepted, while others impacted open areas.

Israeli media said sirens sounded in Tel Aviv metropolitan area in central Israel after the rocket fire.

Israel’s national ambulance service Magen David Adom said its medics treated four people for light wounds by broken glass in central Israel.

Israel’s Army Radio also said two more people sustained light injuries, without providing further details.

Israel has been engaged in a massive onslaught on southern Lebanon which it claims is the stronghold of Hezbollah, which has responded periodically through rocket fire, to Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on neighboring Gaza. Israel claims it is targeting strongholds of the Hezbollah resistance group. However, the soaring death toll continues to reflect the killing of innocent civilians.

More than 3,500 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon, with nearly 15,000 injured and more than a million displaced since last October, according to Lebanese health authorities.

Tel Aviv chose to expand the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon on October 1 this year, in the face of global calls for restraint.
