Dozens of rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Thursday, the Israeli military said, in a major escalation that comes amid tensions over Israeli police operations at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
Some 34 rockets were launched from Lebanese territory into Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces said, with the majority intercepted but six landing in Israel. It was the largest such attack since a 2006 war between the two countries left around 1,200 Lebanese people and 165 Israelis dead. Videos posted on social media showed rockets streaking through the skies over northern Israel, and the sounds of explosions in the distance.
The incident, which was met with widespread condemnation from the Arab and Muslim world, sparked retaliatory rocket fire from Gaza into Israel. Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told CNN “we are at a very dangerous moment.” “What we see unfolding on the Lebanese border is obviously a consequence, a reaction to what we saw happening in al-Aqsa [mosque].” Safadi said. Lebanon and Israel are considered enemy states, but a truce between them has largely held since the 2006 war.
