Hezbollah rocket barrages on northern Israel are expanding in range, reaching deeper into Israel to unevacuated communities, a researcher warned.
“We have seen a significant increase in the intensity and scope of attacks on non-evacuated areas,” Dana Polak, a researcher at the Alma Research and Education Center told The Press Service of Israel.
“Initially, these attacks constituted a small percentage of the overall strikes, but their frequency has been steadily rising,” she said.
Recent data reveals a troubling increase in the frequency and intensity of strikes on non-evacuated areas beyond a 5-kilometer radius from the Israel-Lebanon border. Safed in the Galilee, the coastal cities of Nahariya and Akko, and Golan communities, among others, have experienced a surge in attacks forcing residents to seek shelter.
