Latest cross-border strike in Israel takes heaviest toll in recent weeks

A devastating cross-border strike hit northern Israel on oct 31st killing five people (four of them foreign workers). This attack became the most lethal since Israeli Defense Forces started their operation in Lebanon early this month

The militant group Hezbollah has been launching various weapons towards Israeli territory — rockets missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles — which always gets quick response strikes from Israel. The year-long exchange of fire between both sides resulted in 68 deaths on Israeli northern territories

The attacks pattern shows increasing intensity in recent weeks with both sides using different military tools:

  • Ground-to-ground missiles
  • Armed drones
  • Long-range rockets
  • Artillery fire

The northern communities of Israel face daily security challenges as Hezbollah continues its operations from Lebanese territory‚ while Israeli military maintains its defensive positions along the border region
