Hamas, Huthis fire rockets into Israel
Israel’s army fires back at the direction where 30 rockets were launched
Hamas militants fired 16 rockets from Lebanon towards northern Israel while Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels launched a fresh drone attack against the Jewish state, both on Monday.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said the strikes came "in response to the occupation's (Israel's) massacres and its aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip."
The Israeli army meanwhile reported about 30 projectiles had been fired at northern Israel from Lebanon, adding that it fired back at the direction they had been launched from.
On Monday evening, Lebanon's official news agency reported Israeli air strikes and artillery fire in the country's south.
Hamas, which is allied with Lebanon's Iran-backed Shiite group Hezbollah, has a number of fighters in south Lebanon and has previously claimed attacks on Israel from there.
Meanwhile, Huthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said on X, formerly Twitter, that "the Yemeni armed forces… launched a batch of drones during the past hours at various sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied territories."
"As a result of the operation, the activity at the targeted bases and airports stopped for several hours."
Huthi forces "continue to carry out more qualitative military operations in support of the Palestinian people… until the brutal Israeli aggression against our brothers in Gaza stops," Saree posted on Monday.
Israeli authorities did not immediately confirm the attack, which is the latest in a series of Huthi drone launches in recent days.
