The Hezbollah terrorist group launched waves of rockets and explosive drones into Israel in an attack that caused “nonstop alerts” on Israeli warning apps Thursday.
The barrage was Hezbollah’s second major rocket attack in as many days. The increased aggression comes after Israeli forces eliminated a top Hezbollah commander, Sami Taleb Abdullah, in an airstrike this weekend.
“Hezbollah is targeting northern Israel with more rockets and drones. Nonstop alerts,” wrote Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Thursday.
Israel has not reported any injuries in either Wednesday’s nor Thursday’s attacks.
