The Hezbollah terrorist group fired rockets at Israel’s third largest city, Haifa, early on Oct. 7 as Israeli forces looked poised to expand ground incursions into southern Lebanon on the first anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel by Hamas.

Iran-backed Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, stated that it targeted a military base south of Haifa with “Fadi 1” missiles and launched another strike on Tiberias, 40 miles away, and areas north of Haifa with missiles in a second assault later on Oct. 7.
