BEIRUT: Arab media reported Tuesday morning the launch of 20 rockets from Lebanon targeting Tel Aviv, the Upper Galilee, and the northern Golan. The attack has heightened tensions in the region, raising concerns of further escalation.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it targeted a military base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with a “qualitative missile barrage.” This development marks a significant escalation in hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, potentially leading to a broader conflict.

The rocket attack has prompted the Israeli military to increase its alert levels and readiness, as officials assess the situation and prepare for possible retaliatory measures. The international community has expressed concern over the rising tensions, urging restraint from both sides to avoid further escalation.
