On the night of August 12, Lebanon again launched rockets toward Israel. At least 30 launches are known to have occurred, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The air alert in northern Israel was announced at about 2 a.m.
The Israeli military announced the downing of missiles. They were recorded in the direction of the Qabri area, and some of them fell in the open.
There were no reports of casualties.
After the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Ghani and Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukri, the situation in the Middle East has further deteriorated. Iran immediately accused Israel of this, which admitted its involvement in a comment to US representatives.
Iran is actively preparing for Israel's response. The exact timing is unknown, but the world fears an escalation of the conflict.
Israeli intelligence has reported that Iran may strike the country soon. Israel continues to strengthen its defense infrastructure to be ready to defend itself against both Iran and the countries that support it.
The new leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, informed Israel through intermediaries of his desire to hold negotiations for a ceasefire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ready to agree, but Israeli security services are skeptical.
Recently, it became known that the Israeli military eliminated the senior commander of the Hamas group in Lebanon, Samer Mahmoud al-Hajj.
