Sun Nov 24 12:13:27 UTC 2024: ## Hezbollah Launches Major Attack on Israel, Killing Lebanese Soldier
**Beirut, Lebanon – November 24, 2024** – Hezbollah launched a large-scale attack on Israel on Sunday, firing dozens of missiles and drones at multiple targets, including the Ashdod naval base and a military facility near Tel Aviv. The Iran-backed group claimed responsibility for the unprecedented aerial assault, stating it deployed a swarm of strike drones for the first time. While the Israeli military has not yet officially commented on the specifics of the attack, air raid sirens blared across central and northern Israel, and the military confirmed intercepting some of the approximately 55 projectiles.
The escalation comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which began intensifying after Israel launched airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in September, followed by a ground troop deployment a week later. This latest attack follows nearly a year of limited cross-border exchanges.
The conflict also resulted in casualties on the Lebanese side. The Lebanese Army reported that one soldier was killed and 18 others injured in an Israeli strike on an army post in Amriyeh.
The ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah, alongside the continuing conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, continues to escalate, with significant implications for regional stability.
