According to Reuters, multiple rockets launched from Lebanon hit a building on the outskirts of the capital Tel Aviv (Israel) on November 2 amid a possible temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The Israeli ambulance service said about 11 people were injured by shrapnel after the surprise attack.
Hezbollah immediately claimed responsibility and said the purpose of the attack was to destroy an Israeli military base.
“We went outside and saw smoke and dust, children and women were screaming. We were able to evacuate and rescue those trapped in the house. Thank God no one died,” said a witness.
Also on November 2, the Israeli army announced the killing of two Hezbollah commanders in an attack on Tyre - one of Lebanon's largest cities.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said 52 people were killed in an Israeli attack on November 1 in Baalbek in eastern Lebanon, home to a large archaeological complex that includes the ruins of an ancient Roman town that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
In an interview with Lebanon's Al Jadeed on October 31, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said a temporary 60-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is likely to be reached before the 2024 US presidential election on November 5.
Mr. Mikati shared this after Mr. Amos Hochstein - US Special Envoy to the Middle East revealed the information during a phone call on October 30.
On the same day, October 30, new Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem announced that he would agree to a ceasefire with certain limits if Israel wanted to stop the war, but did not mention leaked information about the upcoming ceasefire.
However, Israel has yet to agree to any proposals to reach a deal despite the war with Hezbollah lasting more than a year.
The war in Lebanon has become increasingly serious since Israel began to intensify its airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in the past five weeks. The airstrikes during the intensified phase of Israel's airstrikes have killed 2,800 Lebanese, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
