TEHRAN- Sirens were sounding in Haifa and its surroundings including Krayot with multiple explosions heard in Haifa, Israeli media reported.

The Israeli army has said that the northern Galilee region of Israel (near the Lebanese border) alone has been subject to more than 140 rockets launched from southern Lebanon on Sunday.

Reports indicate this is one of the largest medium-range missile salvos launched simultaneously toward the depths of Israel.  

Hezbollah announced it had carried out rocket attacks on Haifa, Safad and the Rosh Pina settlement southeast of Safad. 

Sirens sounded in and around Safad following the missile fire from Lebanon.

Israel's Channel 12 reported at least 12 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards Haifa and its surroundings.

Casualties have been reported among Israelis while the Israeli army acknowledged dozens of its soldiers have been injured, the majority of them near the Lebanese border. 

Sirens sound from Nahariyya to Haifa after Hezbollah missile launches from Lebanon.Hebrew media reported some 15 firefighting teams were busy on Sunday trying to extinguish fires in Safad, Amiad and Rosh Pinna following rocket launches from Lebanon.

Sirens also sounded in Haifa over fears of a drone infiltration. Israeli media reported a drone flying over Haifa and Krayot, once again evading Israeli air defense systems. Footage showed the drone had struck an area, the location of which has yet to be specified.

In statements, Hezbollah announced that it targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy forces at the Maale Golani barracks with a rocket barrage, as well as a gathering of "enemy forces in the Yiftah, Katzrin, Adamit, Shlomi and Ya’ara settlements with rocket barrages.”

The Hezbollah resistance movement says it is not only waging military operations against Israeli targets in solidarity with Gaza but also in defense of Lebanon. 

Israeli drones and fighter jets also launched around a dozen consecutive airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburb and its surrounding areas.

The Israeli airstrikes targeted residential buildings in the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh, and Choueifat, leveling them to the ground.

Footage shows large-scale destruction caused by the Israeli air force around the al-Hassanien Mosque in Haret Hreik in the southern suburb of Beirut, also known as al-Dahieh. 

On Sunday, the Lebanese army announced that three of its soldiers have been martyred by an Israeli strike on a vehicle in the south of Lebanon.

Hezbollah has also been targeting Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the occupied Kfar Chouba and Shebaa Hills as they continue their attempts to invade from this area.  

The attempts to invade from these locations have been going on for several days now, highlighting how the IOF’s invasion efforts are still being aborted.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said with the increasing daily confrontations between the Israeli military and Hezbollah fighters, the IOF is acknowledging the strict military discipline and hierarchical structure of Hezbollah. 

The newspaper added that Hezbollah is fighting at the border with only hundreds of fighters while keeping larger forces in reserve for a long-term battle.
