On November 11, 2024, Hezbollah fired nearly 200 rockets into Israel, targeting Haifa, which set off sirens and caused significant fires in Kiryat Ata. Videos from Israel’s MDA ambulance service showed buildings and vehicles burning. An Israeli woman described narrowly escaping death, saying there was "only a second" between life and death. Despite the barrage, many rockets were intercepted by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). Hezbollah’s ramped-up attacks follow the killing of its leaders by Israeli forces.
