The Lebanese militant group launched around 150 missiles, rockets and drones into northern Israel overnight into Sunday morning.

Different weather, terrain and adversaries mean soldiers fighting in the north have different needs from those in Gaza.

The militant group said 16 of its members were killed in Friday’s attack in Beirut, which Lebanon’s health minister said left a total of 37 people dead.

A barrage of Hezbollah rockets and drones pierced the stillness of northern Israel this morning. Israel said most were intercepted by the Iron Dome defenses, but some hit their targets. Chris Livesay reports from Tel Aviv.

Hezbollah fired medium-range rockets toward areas south of Haifa on Sunday morning local time, significantly expanding the range of its attacks against Israel. Why it matters: Most of the rockets were intercepted by Israel or hit open areas but the attack signaled another escalation in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
