Hezbollah and Israeli forces again exchanged fire on Tuesday as tensions rise with the Lebanese militant group and its sponsor Iran threatening to attack the Jewish state more forcefully.
Hezbollah fired several drones at Israel’s north-western Galilee region on Tuesday and several civilians near the coastal town of Nahariya were injured. The Israel Defense Forces said early indications suggest they were hurt by an Israeli interceptor missile as it hit the ground, rather than the Hezbollah projectiles.
