Tens of thousands of Israeli settlers in the northern occupied territories have sought refuge in shelters following a series of missile attacks by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah. Israeli media reported on Thursday that approximately 60,000 panic-stricken settlers rushed to shelters after Hezbollah struck Meron, Nahariya, and other settlements. This response came in retaliation for recent Israeli air raids on southern Lebanon that resulted in the tragic deaths of three Syrian children. Hezbollah launched a total of 80 rockets targeting Israeli settlements. The attacks prompted warning sirens to be activated overnight in Nahariya and communities across the Western Galilee, areas located in the northern Israeli-occupied territories and southern Lebanon.
