In the past day, Hezbollah fired 176 projectiles at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter says on X.

Leiter lists a dozen villages in southern Lebanon from which he says Hezbollah fired the rockets at Israeli forces overnight.

“Kfar Sir, Al-Zaharani, Khirbat a-Dwir, Tufakhta, Mazraat a-Daudia, Tul, Kharouf, Jouaiyya, Kfar Riman, Kfar Fila, Joubaa, Mazraat a-Kamata, Kharet a-Nabbaa. These are all villages in southern Lebanon,” Leiter writes.

“Hezbollah fired 50 rockets at Israeli troops overnight – all from these villages,” he says.

According to Leiter, Hezbollah fired 147 rockets, 20 drones, and 9 anti-tank missiles at Israeli troops “in 24 hours.”

“Hezbollah are terrorists. Hezbollah lies. Hezbollah is Iran’s long arm and they don’t want a cease fire,” he adds.
