A Hezbollah rocket barrage struck a shopping center in Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel Saturday evening, scattering shoppers and leaving devastation in its wake.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry posted a statement alongside a video of the damage inflicted by the strikes.

“A shopping center. Evening. Shoppers. Then, rockets,” the statement said.

“Hezbollah launched a barrage toward Kiryat Shmona, hitting a commercial area in the heart of the city. In seconds, an ordinary evening turned into sirens, panic, and a race for shelter,” the statement continued. “All while a ceasefire is supposedly in place. Hezbollah continues to violate it, while Israeli civilians continue to pay the price.”

Since the April 17 ceasefire imposed on both sides by the Trump administration, Hezbollah has continued to strike Israel on a near-daily basis.

In recent weeks, the IDF has penetrated deeper into southern Lebanon in an attempt to push Hezbollah further back. In the face of a looming ceasefire deal between the United States and Israel that might force Israel to cease operations against Hezbollah, the IDF has ramped up its operations in the hope of diminishing as much as possible the threat from Hezbollah before it’s too late.

The IDF has also captured the strategic Beaufort Castle beyond the Litani River in Arnoun, Lebanon. The crumbling Crusader ruins have provided Hezbollah with the ideal launching pad for attacks from its towering heights since the IDF surrendered the fortress during the failed Lebanon war in the 1980s. Retaking the stronghold gives the IDF not only a military advantage, but it also provides a symbolic and psychological defeat of Hezbollah.
