Hezbollah says it has fired more rockets at Israel


Sirens blared early Thursday morning in a few Israeli communities along the northern border with Lebanon, near the city of Kiryat Shmona, which has been targeted repeatedly during the war by rockets fired by the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah.


In a statement, Hezbollah, long designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and Israel, said it had attacked Manara in northern Israel Thursday morning with rocket fire.


"This response will continue until the Israeli-American aggression against our country and our people ceases," the group said.


Following the announcement of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the deal did not extend to the conflict in Lebanon. Iran, and Pakistan, which brokered the ceasefire, disagree on that point.


Lebanon's health ministry said at least 180 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Wednesday alone - a wave of attacks that Israel's military called its largest in a month, hitting 100 purported Hezbollah targets in just 10 minutes. The health ministry said commercial and residential areas in central Beirut were hit without warning.
