Lebanon fired at least 34 rockets into Israel on 1st day of Passover

At least 34 unguided rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into Israel last Thursday after Hezbollah, the Iran-sponsored terrorist group denounced Israeli police raid  on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque. The jihadis promised to "take all measures . . . to deter the enemy." [Trans. kill Jews]

Israeli officials say that only five rockets made it past the Jewish state’s Iron Dome defense system, with one injury reported — the largest attack from the north since 2006 when Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets into Israel during a 34-day conflict. 

So 34 seems to be their go-to number.

The rockets injured one man with shrapnel and a woman who was running for a bomb shelter, according to Israel’s EMS service. 

Israeli officials said that this is “the largest attack from the north since 2006."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had not confirmed the total number of rockets launched in the attack.

The attacks on the first day of Passover are also one of the largest since August 2021, when Hezbollah fired 19 rockets into Israeli territory.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was informed of the attack and met with his high-level security cabinet. What was discussed was confidential and privileged information.
