Hezbollah launched an attack toward the northern Israeli community of Metulla at 05:35, according to reports. No immediate details on the nature of the attack or casualties.
At 05:35, Hezbollah launched an attack toward the northern Israeli community of Metulla, according to reports from the group. This follows the activation of sirens in Metula and Misgav Am at 05:32 amid rocket fire from Lebanon. The new claim from Hezbollah places the attack three minutes after the initial warnings. No details are available on the munitions used, interception attempts, or casualties at this time.
As The Zioneer reported at 05:32, sirens were activated in Metula and Misgav Am amid a barrage from southern Lebanon. That earlier development, based on warnings and initial reporting, did not specify the target or timing of the attack itself. Now, Hezbollah has publicly claimed the attack at 05:35, though the claim remains unverified. The sequence — sirens at 05:32 followed by the group's assertion of an attack at 05:35 — suggests a direct hit or launch from Hezbollah's perspective, but independent confirmation is still pending.
The attack is the latest in a sustained pattern of Hezbollah fire from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, set against an ongoing IDF campaign in the region. As The Zioneer recently reported, Israeli ground forces have advanced into new areas of southern Lebanon and struck Hezbollah targets in Tyre and Sidon. Hezbollah has continued to claim attacks on Israeli positions throughout this period.
It remains unclear whether the Metulla attack caused any damage, whether it was intercepted, or if there were casualties. The Hezbollah claim has not been independently corroborated, and Israeli sources have not yet provided an assessment.
