Rocket attack in northern Israel, displaced man says- 'Missiles are chasing us' | N18G

On November 25, a rocket attack struck Nahariya in northern Israel, displacing residents and causing damage. Ofir Ben David, a displaced resident from Shomra, described the constant fear of missiles, recalling seeing fires in a nearby building and a burning car during the attack. The Israeli military intercepted ten projectiles launched from Lebanon, where Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for the rocket fire. Two people were injured by shrapnel, including an elderly woman in serious condition. Israel’s military offensive is focused on enabling displaced citizens, who evacuated their homes due to Hezbollah’s rocket fire, to return to their properties. Hezbollah’s actions escalated after the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel, triggering broader conflict. The attack on Nahariya is part of the ongoing border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, fueled by the larger Gaza war and its regional consequences.
