NAHARIYA, Israel (AP) — Hezbollah fired over 100 rockets early Sunday across northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa, as Israel launched hundreds of strikes on Lebanon. A Hezbollah leader declared an “open-ended battle” was underway as both sides appeared to be spiraling closer toward all-out war.
The overnight rocket barrage was in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon that have killed dozens, including a veteran Hezbollah commander, and an unprecedented attack targeting the group’s communications devices. Air raid sirens across northern Israel sent hundreds of thousands of people scrambling into shelters.
One struck near a residential building in Kiryat Bialik, a city near Haifa, wounding at least three people and setting buildings and cars ablaze. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said four people were wounded.
Avi Vazana raced to a shelter with his wife and 9-month-old baby before he heard the rocket hitting. Then he went back outside to see if anyone was hurt.
“I ran without shoes, without a shirt, only with pants. I ran to this house when everything was still on fire to try to find if there are other people,” he said.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said three people were killed and four wounded in Israeli strikes near the border, without saying whether they were civilians or combatants.

“Hezbollah hits back with rockets as it declares an ‘open-ended battle’ with Israel”
Has there been a year in the past 3 decades without a headline like this one?

--- "an ‘open-ended battle’ with Israel"
This has been true since the creation of the State of Israel in 1947. Many wars with Arab neighbors since, this latest Hezbollah public relations posture is nothing new. Radical Islam at war with Jews since its inception, 1,400+ years ago.

Like that’s something new?

Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi, Harris. The letter H is getting abused.
