Woman killed by Hezbollah rocket in northern Israel

While Iranian missiles on central Israel receive more attention, northern Israel remains under serious attack.

An Israeli woman was killed and two others were lightly wounded on Tuesday evening after Hezbollah launched a rocket barrage into the Upper Galilee.

Magen David Adom said medics arrived near Mahanayim Junction, in the Rosh Pina area, and found the victim with catastrophic injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Two additional victims were treated for light wounds caused by shattered glass and did not require hospitalization.

She was later identified as Nuriel Dubin, 27, of Moshav Margaliot.

Margaliot said Dubin worked as a youth counselor and preschool assistant. She also served as a combat reservist in the IDF.

The attack is another reminder that Hezbollah’s campaign against northern Israel is not background noise. It is not symbolic fire. It is a sustained assault on civilian life, with predictable human cost.

The Iranian-backed group began launching rockets and suicide drones at Israel from Lebanon on March 2, following Israel’s targeted killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Khamenei was killed in the opening phase of Operation Roaring Lion / Epic Fury on February 28.

Since then, Hezbollah has continued testing the limits of escalation, while Israel has responded with airstrikes and expanded ground action in southern Lebanon.

The November 27, 2024, truce brokered by the United States was supposed to restrain Hezbollah’s cross-border aggression. Instead, the group has gone on demonstrating what these arrangements so often become in practice: a temporary script for Western officials, and a tactical pause for Iranian proxies.
