Hezbollah Rocket Attack On Israel Filmed From Underneath
Published 3 years ago
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a barrage of approximately 20 rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Aug. 6, 2021.
A mashup of witness video clips shows rockets being launched, Iron Dome interception, and a third clip reportedly documents angry townsfolk discovering their neighborhood was used as a launch site, making them disposable collateral in the eyes of Hezbollah, should the Israelis return fire on the launch points.
Israel claimed the Iron Dome intercepted 10 of the rockets. An additional six fell in open areas, and the rest landed inside Lebanon. Based on the accompanying video, the multi launch rocket system (MLRS) malfunctioned, and not all available munitions were fired.
The behavior of the Iron Dome missiles suggest the rockets were fired almost too close for the defense systems to be effective. Anti Israel groups have been changing and refining tactics to overwhelm and avoid the system.
