On October 7, tensions at the Israel-Lebanon border continued to escalate when the Hezbollah movement fired 135 rockets into Israeli territory.

The massive attack sent air raid sirens blaring across northern Israel, forcing residents to seek shelter.

In immediate response, the Israeli military launched attacks on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.

On October 7, about 100 Israeli warplanes conducted large-scale airstrikes on more than 120 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon within an hour.

Targets included units stationed on the southern front, the Radwan Forces, Hezbollah's rocket and missile forces and intelligence command.

Israel said the attack was aimed at weakening Hezbollah's command, control and bombardment capabilities, while supporting ground forces.

The Israeli government has vowed to continue military operations against Hezbollah and other hostile groups, affirming its determination to protect its security and citizens.

The event took place as Israel held vigils and protests to mark the first anniversary of the Hamas attack.
