Hezbollah fires rocket salvo at northern Israel, Iranian leader vows 'Axis of Resistance' will continue

Hezbollah fires rocket salvo at northern Israel, Iranian leader vows 'Axis of Resistance' will continue

A rocket reportedly damaged a three-story building and burned two cars in Kiryat Ata, the outlet said. 

The Saturday attacks followed after a UAV was launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in the coastal city of Caesarea.

Netanyahu and his wife were not home when the incident happened, his spokesperson told Fox News. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Iran-backed Hezbollah has stepped up its attacks on Israel in recent weeks after the IDF successfully sabotaged the terror group's electronic communications and killed its senior leaders, including Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his replacement. 

Israel struck another great blow against Iran's proxy groups this week with the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Hezbollah and Hamas, along with other proxy groups, comprise an "Axis of Resistance" that Iran has used to oppose Israel and the U.S. and wield power in the Middle East for decades. 

Speaking on Saturday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sinwar's death would not stop the "Axis of Resistance" and that Hamas would live on.

"His loss is undoubtedly painful for the Axis of Resistance, but this front did not cease advancing with the martyrdom of prominent figures," Khamenei said in a statement. "Hamas is alive and will remain alive."

Sinwar, the architect of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza, was killed on Wednesday in a gunfight with Israeli forces after a year-long manhunt, and his death was announced on Thursday.

"He was a shining face of resistance and struggle. With a steely resolve, he stood against the oppressive and aggressive enemy. With wisdom and courage, he dealt them the irreparable blow of October 7 that has been recorded in the history of this region. Then, with honor and pride, he ascended to the heavens of the martyrs," said Khamenei.

"As always, we will remain by the side of the sincere fighters and combatants, by God's grace and help."
