Two civilians were killed by Hezbollah rocket fire in northern Israel, while five others were wounded in a rocket attack in Haifa. Israel has launched an offensive in response to the cross-border fighting that has been ongoing for almost a year. The aim of the ground invasion is to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure along the border. Intense battles have been reported between Israeli soldiers and Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanese areas. The Israeli military has destroyed over 100 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, while an Israeli airstrike on the village of Wardaniyeh killed at least four people.
