Dozens of instances of damage were reported across "Israel" today as a
result of heavy rocket fire from Lebanon.

According to the Israeli news website, *Ynet*, "Dozens of Property Tax
Authority teams arrived at impact sites, but due to the high number of
events, it is still not possible to assess the full extent of the damage."

Initial estimates indicate damages in the tens of millions of shekels,
*Ynet* reported. The rockets struck numerous buildings, vehicles, and
infrastructure, with authorities noting that assessments will be possible
within the next 24 hours.

*Ynet *further underscored that over 250 rockets were fired from Lebanon

since midnight, prompting 543 air raid sirens to sound across occupied
Palestine.

In turn, the *New York Times* reported that today's operations were "one of
the largest Hezbollah has mounted against Israel since the Lebanese
militant group started firing on Israel last year in solidarity with Hamas
in Gaza."

It is worth noting that the operations coincided with intensified
diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war in Lebanon and following
massacres against Lebanese civilians in Beirut and across Lebanon.
Israeli media jokes about destroying 80% of  Hezbollah capabilities amid
Tel Aviv strikes

"An Unusual Day in Israel," is how Israeli media titled the events of the
day in northern Palestine. *Channel 12* reported that it was "a very intense
day of Hezbollah rockets
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-launches--unprecedented--strikes--destroys-6-merka>,
covering vast areas."

The channel continued, acknowledging the difficulty of the situation: "The
feeling in the north today is far from easy, with more than 250 rockets
hitting the center, north, Haifa, and the Krayot areas. Unfortunately, in
many regions, rockets fell, and the air defense systems simply didn’t work
as usual."

For its part, *Kan *described the Hezbollah strikes today as "completely
unprecedented," noting that "the spread of rockets across the north and
deep into Israel is something we haven’t seen in a long time, in addition
to the sheer volume of rockets."

The military correspondent for *Walla *sarcastically commented, "Didn’t
they tell us that 80% of Hezbollah’s rockets and shells had been destroyed?"

According to a military source for* Army Radio*, sirens sounded more than
500 times since morning due to Hezbollah rockets.

The source further confirmed that approximately 4 million people have
entered shelters since the morning.

*Channel 12*’s correspondent, Dafna Li’el, reported that the Israeli
occupation government is holding a discussion today regarding ceasefire
negotiations with Lebanon

highlighting the "growing pressure on Netanyahu," adding that "the field is
speaking right now."
