The Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah launched at least five anti-tank guided missiles into northern Israel on Sunday.

Israeli forces carried out drills on Sunday along the border of Gaza, home to the militant Hamas, which on Oct. 7 launched a massive terrorist assault that killed more than 1,300 Israelis and at least 27 Americans. About 150 people have been taken hostage by the group, including some U.S. citizens. Medics in Gaza warned Sunday that thousands could die as hospitals packed with wounded people ran desperately low on fuel and basic supplies. Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave are reported to be struggling to find food, water and safety.
Following the Hezbollah missile fire into northern Israel on Sunday, the Israeli military said it was restricting an area of more than two miles wide along the Lebanon border, ordering civilians not to enter, according to The Times of Israel. “I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place,” Mr. Amirabdollahian said, according to English-language media accounts of his remarks. “Any step the resistance will take will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity.”
“The Israeli nightmare scenario is that the first punch is from Gaza and then the uppercut comes from Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is much more powerful by orders of magnitude,” Michael Doran, senior fellow and director of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute, told The Washington Times earlier this week.
