CROSSFIREARABIA – The number of Hezbollah missiles launched from southern Lebanon, Sunday, has increased to 340.
This is the largest single volley of missiles Hezbollah struck north and center Israel in a single day since 7 October, 2023.
These trajectories, including missiles and drones have reached all parts, cities, towns, settlements and military and naval bases across Israel, reaching to the Ashdod Port just before the northern Gaza Strip.
The major city of Tel Aviv took a battering on Sunday, 24 November, 2024, being volley-struck four times in a single day – the biggest ever scare since 7 October.
Today, sirens, according to Israeli sources went off 500 times across Israel with four million Israelis spending their day in underground shelters.
