Hezbollah has expanded its rocket attacks, targeting areas in Israel with two million inhabitants. The group has extended its attacks to include the greater Haifa area and the Jezreel Valley. As a response, civilians in northern Israel have sought refuge in bomb shelters. Simultaneously, explosions caused by booby-trapped pagers and radios have killed 42 Hezbollah members in Lebanon. Investigations have revealed that the devices were implanted with explosives and remotely detonated. Reports suggest that the joint attack was carried out by the Israeli military and Mossad. Hezbollah claims to have the capability to hit almost any location in Israel. These attacks are seen as a show of support for Palestinians and a response to Israel's actions.
