According to rescue services, a rocket that struck a home in the northern town of Bi\u2019ina injured one of the two victims. Four others were treated for acute anxiety at the scene.<\/p>\n
\t As the Israel Defense Forces instructed residents of the north to stay close to shelters, Hezbollah continued firing rockets alongside drones, with sirens set off across the Galilee and in Haifa, as well as in communities up to 50 kilometers from the border with Lebanon.<\/p>\n In all, the terror group fired at least 150 rockets at the north over the course of several hours, according to IDF assessments.<\/p>\n A number of long-range rockets fired by Hezbollah also struck open areas. Because the rockets were heading for open areas, no sirens were activated by the military. Sounds of explosions were reported by residents of central Israel amid the attack.<\/p>\n Footage shows Hezbollah’s large rocket barrage on northern Israel this evening.

Hezbollah also fired long-range rockets, setting off sirens in Tel Aviv and surrounding towns, amid which the IDF announced the detection of an Iranian ballistic missile, which triggered alerts in central Israel, the Jerusalem area and parts of the south.\n<\/p>\n Some of projectiles were intercepted, according to initial military assessments. Police reported damage was caused by an impact in central Israel. Fragments following the interceptions also reportedly fell in several areas.<\/p>\n The IDF, meanwhile, launched heavy airstrikes on Hezbollah\u2019s strongholds in southern Beirut, while an Israeli official said the military could begin hitting civilian infrastructure if the Lebanese government fails to rein in Iran-backed Hezbollah.<\/p>\n The IDF earlier warned that Hezbollah would likely attempt to increase its rate of rocket and drone attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n CNN reported that Israel was preparing for a potential \u201csignificant expansion\u201d of attacks from Iran and Hezbollah on Wednesday. Echoing the earlier reports, Channel 12 news cited an update sent to cabinet ministers saying that officials expected heavy missile and rocket fire from Hezbollah and Iran later in the day.<\/p>\n Hezbollah\u2019s opening barrage of rockets was launched from several areas in Lebanon. The terror group, in a statement, said that \u201cin response to the criminal aggression against dozens of Lebanese cities and towns and Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs,\u201d its fighters targeted sites in northern Israel \u201cwith dozens of rockets\u201d as part of a new operation announced a short time earlier.<\/p>\n \t Iran\u2019s powerful IRGC military force, which controls the country\u2019s missile weaponry, described the attack on Israel as a \u201cjoint and integrated operation\u201d with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said that it launched several ballistic missiles, while Hezbollah launched drones and rockets at over 50 targets in Israel.<\/p>\n Previously, the IDF had said it had no intelligence indicating that concurrent fire from Iran and by Hezbollah in Lebanon was a \u201ccoordinated\u201d effort.<\/p>\n The Israeli Air Force responded to the attack by carrying out an \u201cextensive\u201d wave of strikes on Hezbollah rocket launchers and other infrastructure in Lebanon, the military said.<\/p>\n The strikes were intended to thwart additional fire toward Israel.<\/p>\n Ahead of strikes on Beirut, and for the third time on Wednesday, the IDF called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate the capital\u2019s south.<\/p>\n \u201cDo not return to the southern suburb until further notice,\u201d said army spokesman Col. Avichay Adaree.<\/p>\n \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0627\u062d\u064a\u0629#\u0645\u0644\u062d\u0642<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1LA6sfqneK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mulhak \u2013 \u0645\u0644\u062d\u0642 (@Mulhak) March 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n AFP correspondents reported hearing the sound of blasts across the city, while footage showed large explosions and smoke covering the area, and the state-run National News Agency reported at least \u201csix heavy strikes\u201d on the southern suburbs.\n<\/p>\n Before the wave of strikes, the IDF said it had so far struck over 70 targets in Beirut\u2019s south during the war with Iran, including demolishing 50 multi-story buildings used by Hezbollah.<\/p>\n \u2018Heading toward a serious escalation\u2019<\/p>\n Amid the continued Hezbollah attacks, a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel that the terror organization\u2019s strongholds will be destroyed unless Lebanon\u2019s government acts.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Lebanese government needs to get a grip on their country,\u201d said the official, \u201cor Hezbollah parts of Beirut will soon look like Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n The comments came after a senior security official, who spoke anonymously to Hebrew media outlets, told Ynet: \u201cWe are on the eve of a fateful campaign in Lebanon which will determine the future of both countries.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a security discussion right now,\u201d said the official. \u201cThe campaign in Lebanon is going to expand significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n The official said that the expanded campaign would include the call-up of more reservists.<\/p>\n \u201cHezbollah, in its calculations, wants to turn our attention away from Iran, and thinks that if it draws us in, we will take our foot off the gas in the campaign against Iran,\u201d said the official. Hezbollah, the official continued, \u201cwants to create a new balance in which Israel\u2019s enforcement policy in Lebanon ends, and we don\u2019t attack at all. That won\u2019t happen. Therefore, this is heading toward a serious escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have more capabilities and tools, and we can conduct campaigns in parallel against Iran and against Lebanon,\u201d said the official.<\/p>\n \u0644\u062d\u0638\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u063a\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0627\u062d\u064a\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0648\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0628\u064a\u0631\u0648\u062a pic.twitter.com\/WZCiZHot23<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F260311AMA0004-640x400.jpg\")
