Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter:

Hezbollah fired rockets this morning at Kiryat Shmona, a northern Israeli city of more than 20,000 residents.

Only the successful interception by the IDF prevented what could have been a deadly attack on civilians, including children.

In the video, you can see the interception overhead while families, workers, and ordinary citizens are forced to abandon their daily routines and run for shelter.

This is the reality Israelis continue to live with. This is Hezbollah's idea of a ceasefire.

It should be remembered that Israel agreed to refrain from striking Hezbollah command centers in Beirut on the condition that Hezbollah would stop attacking Israeli towns and villages.

This morning's attack is yet another blatant violation of that understanding.
