IRGC+Hezbollah Joint Attack: 50+ Israeli Targets Across 5-Hour Barrage

The IRGC confirmed a joint operation with Hezbollah striking more than 50 targets across Israel over five hours on March 12. Hezbollah launched its biggest rocket attack against Israel since the war began — heavy volleys toward northern Israel overnight repeatedly driving residents into shelters. Israel responded with airstrikes against Hezbollah launch sites and command infrastructure in Lebanon. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a direct warning to Lebanon's president: 'If the Lebanese government cannot control the territory and prevent Hezbollah from threatening northern communities and firing at Israel, we will take the territory and do it ourselves.' Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam stated: 'It is a war we did not want. We cannot accept in any way that Lebanon will return to being an open arena for others' wars.'
