Ambassador to the U.S. Yehiel Leiter posted the tally on Saturday evening, underscoring that the attacks occurred while Lebanon claims de-escalation. The figures align with IDF assessments since Friday night of repeated Hezbollah fire at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Yehiel Leiter, published on Saturday evening a detailed breakdown of Hezbollah attacks over the weekend — 147 rockets, 20 explosive drones, and 9 anti-tank missiles — arguing the group is violating the ceasefire in real time while Lebanese officials claim a de-escalation.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday (18:40 Jerusalem), Leiter's earlier post highlighted that most of the rockets had been launched from villages along the UN-demarcated Yellow Line. The new Saturday evening post adds that the sheer scale of fire — over the course of just two days — undercuts any claim that the ceasefire is holding. The IDF has reported more than 50 launches at its troops in southern Lebanon overnight Friday–Saturday alone, as documented at 15:13 Jerusalem.
No new Israeli policy response was announced alongside the ambassador's statement. The post appears aimed at reinforcing the Israeli position in diplomatic and public channels ahead of any further discussions on the ceasefire framework.
