Hezbollah launched about 100 rockets into Israel’s Ramat David Airbase near Haifa early Sunday, marking its deepest strike since October. With the strike extending over 60 kilometers within Israel, hundreds of thousands of people were affected as sirens were heard throughout the region and businesses and schools were forced to close. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced by this increase in cross-border violence on both sides.

Many of the rockets were intercepted, according to Israel’s military, and no serious casualties were recorded. “If Hezbollah hasn’t understood the message, I promise it will,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned the group.

The bombing is part of Hezbollah’s continuous response to Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon that have killed hundreds of civilians. A top Lebanese official declared, “Our civilians are suffering—Hezbollah is not the only victim of these strikes.” Over 350 Israeli strikes-related deaths and 1,200 injuries were confirmed by the Lebanese Health Ministry on Monday.

Hezbollah’s use of advanced Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets signals its strategic intent to pressure Israeli forces. The group has vowed to continue its attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. “Israel’s actions have crossed all red lines,” Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah declared, warning of further retaliation.

The United Nations has warned of an “imminent catastrophe” in the region, calling for a ceasefire.
