Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops and firefighters in the northern border town of Kiryat Shmona on Wednesday in a display of solidarity as Israel prepares for a likely war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Hezbollah has attacked Israel with rockets, drones, and anti-tank missiles since October, after Hamas launched its terror attack in southern Israel on October 7. Israel has responded in limited fashion, attacking the sources of fire.
The projectiles from Hezbollah have killed both soldiers and civilians, and Israel has responded with attacks that have killed over 300 Hezbollah fighters. In recent weeks, the attacks have expanded on both sides of the border.
Earlier this week, Hezbollah launched dozens of projectiles against Israel. Most fell in open areas, setting fire to the countryside and forcing Israel to mobilize a massive firefighting response.
