Hezbollah: 250 Missiles Land on Israel in One Day

CROSSFIREARABIA – It’s being described as a black day as 250 Hezbollah missiles land on Israel from southern Lebanon in under 24 hours.

For Israel, it’s a first nation-wide alert with 24th November, 2024 likely to be remembered as one of the most difficult days between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters.

Over 250 missiles have landed on different parts of Israel including Naharya, Acca, Haifa, Beith Takfah, West Galilee, Krayot, HaSharon, Herzilya, Tel Aviv and the port of Ashdod, bordering Gaza, which is 150 kilometers away from Tel Aviv.

It speaks much about the encroachment of the so-called “Israeli depth” that today lies bare with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north.

This is being described as “unprecedented” in a wide set of attacks covering at least half of Israel and is trending on the social media with its continual updates.

It began on early Sunday morning, after Israeli warplanes bombed the southern district of Beirut leading to many deaths and injuries.

The rockets on northern Israel that included military bases near Tel Aviv had been climbing from 150 missiles, some of who are ballistic to 170 with the latest figure standing at 200 and 250 and set to increase.

Damages and fires is being reported in the Israeli media with at least 10 people being injured but this is being described as the “war of missiles.”

With these projectiles landing on Israel daily – they increased in intensity when Israeli decided to stage its air and land war on Lebanon last September with the killing of Hezbollah’s Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the escalation on the Jewish state have continued daily.

The only people that seems to be affected by this are civilians. Whilst Israel’s war on Lebanon have displaced 1.4 million people in the south of the country, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have also been displaced from their homes and living in sheltered accommodation.

But apart from that up to two million Israelis in central Israel and the Tel Aviv conurbation have been “running up-and-down” between underground shelters.

Today sirens dominate the Israeli scene, going on and off on all hours of the day, at night, early mornings, when people are asleep and during the day.

The rockets, missiles, sirens have made life so unbearable that life has changed dramatically with hundreds thousands already left the country and many more thousands are thinking of actively getting out.

Today, the atmosphere in Israel – never been experienced before and judged from the siren blasts at 401 sound alerts in 11 regions – is tense and downright frightful, a bit like Gaza or the southern district of Beirut. Its no longer the place its original founders intended it to be.

The new message is “you can’t enjoy yoursleves while living on the lands of another people; all must suffer the consequences.  Israelis are realizing that. Their way out is through the congested Ben Gurion Airport which is topsy-turvy shutdown due to the daily missiles and drones.

3000 Morning Pray at Al Aqsa After a 40-day Forced Closure

Israel has reopened Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque to Palestinians after a 40-day closure, as large crowds flocked to the holy site to pray, expressing joy following the unjustified closure.

More than 3,000 Palestinian worshippers performed the dawn (Fajr) prayer at the holy site for the first time since the start of the US-Israeli assault on Iran on 28 February.

Videos circulating on social media show the reopening of the mosque’s gates, with large crowds entering its courtyards.

Videos also showed volunteers and mosque custodians cleaning and preparing the site to receive worshipers.

Israel has barred Muslim worshipers from accessing Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque since the start of the ongoing Israeli-US assault on Iran, marking a total closure of one of Islam’s holiest sites not seen since the start of the occupation in 1967 and raising concerns over Israeli plans to impose further restrictions and tighten control over the compound.

No exceptions have been made for Muslims, even during Ramadan, Islam’s holiest month, or the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Meanwhile, it allowed settler incursions into Islam’s third-holiest site on Sunday. Up to 50 settlers were permitted to visit the Al-Buraq Wall, which is part of the walls of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex and known to Jews as the Western Wall. The settlers attended traditional prayers as part of the Passover holiday, held in a covered space by the Western Wall plaza.

Israeli occupation authorities have also resumed near-daily incursions by Israeli settlers into Al-Aqsa following its reopening, while extending their duration.

Dozens raided the site from 6:30am local time, shortly after Muslim worshipers were cleared from the site following dawn prayers.

They were seen performing Tamudic rituals, praying, singing and dancing while backed by forces.

Before the war, such incursions took place in two shifts on weekdays: from 7am to 11am and from 1:30pm to 2:30pm. Under a new schedule approved before the war on Iran, raids now run from 6:30am to 11:30am and from 1:30pm to 3pm, totalling six and a half hours daily.

The Jerusalem Governorate described the extension as a “dangerous escalation” that further undermines the status quo.

“The extension reflects an acceleration in efforts to impose new realities at Al-Aqsa Mosque and entrench time-based division, particularly following its reopening after a 40-day closure,” it said.

Tomorrow will be the first Friday since the closure, during which the holy site was shut for five Fridays according to the Quds News Network.
