Hezbollah claims attacksLebanese militant group Hezbollah said its fighters launched drones and rockets at northern Israel on Thursday, targeting troops and a village. The Israeli military's Home Front Command said air raid sirens were activated across the border. There were no reports of any casualties or damage. Israel's military said air defences responded to waves of Iranian missile fire early Thursday, including at least two attacks after US President Donald Trump delivered an address to the American public about the war. After the first attack, police said officers were called to "several" impact sites in central Israel, and media reports citing medics said four people were lightly wounded. Oil prices spiked after Trump reiterated that US forces would hammer Iran for another two to three weeks but offered no solution to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that has crippled global markets.
