Hezbollah fires rockets at Haifa as Israel expands ground invasion of Lebanon
- Hezbollah says it has fired more than 100 rockets towards the cities of Haifa and Krayot in northern Israel – the IDF has said most of these were intercepted
- The IDF says it’s begun a “limited” ground operation against Hezbollah in the western part of south Lebanon – it comes a week after the ground invasion began on the eastern side of the border
- In a televised speech, Hezbollah’s deputy leader insisted the group’s resources were “in good shape” – a claim an IDF spokesperson said “does not acknowledge reality”
- Hezbollah commander Suhail Hussein Husseini was killed in a strike yesterday in the Beirut area, the IDF says
- In Lebanon, 1.2 million people have become displaced since Israel stepped up air strikes last month and 400,000 have fled to neighbouring Syria
