Hezbollah fires 200 rockets at northern Israel; one IDF soldier dead

July 4 (UPI) -- Tensions between Israel and Iran's proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon have risen in recent days as airstrikes increase amid the fallout from the recent killing of a top Hezbollah leader.

Hezbollah fired a "massive barrage" of at least 200 projectiles toward northern Israel early Thursday morning, Israel Defense Forces confirmed by 7:30 a.m. local time. It also saw more than 20 "suspicious aerial targets," several of which were intercepted, launched at Israel.
