Video footage captured by surveillance cameras showed the moment a rocket hit Haifa. Reuters independently verified the footage, using visual details and satellite imagery of the area to confirm the location, along with the timestamp corroborating the date of the attack.
In response, Israel’s military launched a series of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut and southern Lebanon. The Israeli Air Force hit Hezbollah’s Intelligence Headquarters in Beirut, including intelligence-gathering facilities, command centers, and additional infrastructure sites. Secondary explosions followed the strikes, indicating the presence of weaponry, according to the Israeli military.
Israeli airstrikes also targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area, hitting weapons storage facilities, infrastructure, a command center, and a missile launcher. The IDF accused Hezbollah of embedding its command centers and weaponry beneath residential buildings in Beirut, endangering the civilian population.
