Hezbollah in Lebanon fires dozens of rockets at Israel, many are intercepted by Iron Dome amid high tensions

UPDATE 8.4.2024 8:52 AM EST: The IDF confirmed on Sunday afternoon that, following sirens that sounded in central Israel, approximately five launches were identified crossing from the southern Gaza Strip. One of the launches fell in the area of the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. Earlier, rocket sirens had sounded in the central Israel localities of Bitzaron, Gan Yavne, Hatzor, Azrikam, Sde Uziyahu, and Shtulim.

Last night we reported to you that chatter coming out of Iran indicated that a ‘significant response’ from the terror state could be coming ‘within hours’. It’s been just under 24 hours and at the moment Hezbollah in Lebanon has begun firing dozens of Katsuya rockets on northern Israel. Whether this is a one-off or the start of Iran’s much-hyped response to the death of Ismail Haniyeh is not yet clear, but Israel is preparing for it to escalate into that.

“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4 (KJB)

Over the last 15 or so years, NTEB has been reporting on Middle East events, and we have watched things ramp up to a crazy level, then at the last moment, things cool down. But at some point, critical mass will have been achieved and over the end times edge we all shall go. This is a breaking news story, and we will continue to keep an eye on it for you. In the meantime, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the Jews and the land of Israel.

NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW TO TELL THE JEWS ABOUT THEIR MESSIAH JESUS, AND TO REMIND CHRISTIANS TO PRAY FOR ISRAEL, CLICK TO ORDER NOW!!

Hezbollah says it has launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at Israel.

FROM YNET NEWS: Over the weekend, Israel held a series of discussions and consultations among its political and security leaders in anticipation of potential retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah. The concerns follow the targeted killings attributed to Israel of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr.

The Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah says its latest attack, on Moshav Beit Hillel, is in response to Israel’s attacks on Kfar Kela and Deir Siriane in Lebanon which, it claims, injured civilians there. Many of the projectiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome system.

Israeli officials consider a combined or separate attack inevitable, although there remains uncertainty regarding its timing and scale. The nation is preparing for multiple scenarios, including severe ones, while also deliberating a preemptive strike before any retaliation reaches Israel.

Government ministers were briefed to prepare for all possibilities, with warnings that an attack could happen at any moment, potentially escalating into a multi-front war with widespread destruction.

In a precautionary measure, some ministers have been provided with satellite phones to ensure communication in case of cellular network failures, a plan already implemented in government offices involved in emergency preparedness.

Israeli security sources indicate that Hezbollah is seeking a significant attack on Israel, potentially targeting more than just military objectives. The assessment is that Iran has yet to finalize its response plan. A security source noted that the coordination between Israel and the United States and their readiness to thwart attacks significantly influences Iran’s calculations.

Intensive discussions are reportedly underway between Jerusalem and Washington to maximize coordination to deter Iran and Hezbollah. The U.S. has deployed an aircraft carrier and fighter squadrons to the region, preparing to act similarly to the coordinated operation on April 13, when several nations, including moderate Arab states, worked to intercept an attack of hundreds of drones and missiles from Iran. The working assumption is that the upcoming assault could be more extensive, intense and deadly.

A senior Israeli official expressed concerns that if the attack launches from multiple fronts at a rapid pace, it will be challenging for Israel and the U.S. to counter, potentially resulting in numerous casualties. However, such a scenario would enable a stronger response with global backing. READ MORE
