Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets from Lebanon at the northern settlement of Kiryat Shmona sparking fires in the surrounding areas late on May 10.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that 15 of some 35 rockets fired by Hezbollah were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, while others struck the settlement, causing damage to property.
Rockets that fell outside of the settlement sparked large fires in the hills along Route 90. The Israel Fire and Rescue Services said that ten firefighting teams were working at the scene. No casualties were reported by Hebrew media however.
Hezbollah said that the rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona was carried out in support of the Palestinian people and resistance in the Gaza Strip and as a response to recent Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, including a strike on the town of Tayr Harfa that claimed the life of a technician and rescue worker affiliated with an allied Amal Movement.
In an initial response, the IDF said that it shelled the sources of the fire with artillery. Later, it launched a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in six different areas in southern Lebanon, hitting five buildings used by the group and a military post used to launch rockets at northern Israel, in the towns of Odaisseh, Khiam, Rab al-Thalathine, Deir Siriane, Ayta al-Shaab and Mhaibib.
The rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona was only one of seven carried out by Hezbollah on May 10. The group fighters attacked the sites of al-Malikiyah, Misgav Am and al-Samaqa. They also fired rockets at the Yiftah barracks and Khirbet Maar base.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza last October, Hezbollah and its allies began launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in the Strip.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in nine civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 14 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 400 people have been killed, including 279 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 70 civilians.
