Israel and Hezbollah are still engaged in a fierce firefight on Sunday. Hezbollah’s stronghold in south Beirut was hit by Israel, as Lebanese media reported fierce fighting along the border. In response, Iran-backed Hezbollah launched one of its most intense attacks in months, firing over 250 rockets and other missiles into Israel, injuring at least seven people.
Using a swarm of attack drones, Hezbollah “launched, for the first time, an aerial attack on the Ashdod naval base” in southern Israel, according to a statement. Later, it claimed to have launched a salvo of missiles against the Glilot army intelligence base in Tel Aviv and fired “a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of attack drones” at a “military target” in the city’s suburbs. Hezbollah has previously reported attacks against the Glilot base.
This is what Sunday looks like for millions of Israelis under Hezbollah rocket fire.

Israeli air defences intercepted some rockets fired by Hezbollah, but others caused damage to houses in central Israel, according to a report by AFP. Some projectiles even reached the Tel Aviv area in the heart of Israel.
The Israeli military confirmed around 250 projectiles were fired in one of the war’s highest daily figures. On September 24– the day after Israel escalated air strikes against Hezbollah– there were 350 launches from Lebanon, according to the military.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israel struck the capital’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, a day after a wave of Israeli strikes that the health ministry said killed 84 people. Deadly strikes also hit the heart of Beirut over the past week.
