Hezbollah said in a statement that “in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the blatant” Israeli ceasefire violations including “attacks on civilians and the destruction of their homes and villages,” its fighters launched rockets and attack drones at a military site in northern Israel that it said was the source of artillery shelling towards a south Lebanon town.
