The Hezbollah terrorist group launched waves of rockets and explosive drones into Israel in an attack that caused “nonstop alerts” on Israeli warning apps Thursday.

The barrage was Hezbollah’s second major rocket attack in as many days. The increased aggression comes after Israeli forces eliminated a top Hezbollah commander, Sami Taleb Abdullah, in an airstrike this weekend.

“Hezbollah is targeting northern Israel with more rockets and drones. Nonstop alerts,” wrote Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Thursday.

Israel has not reported any injuries in either Wednesday’s nor Thursday’s attacks.

The IDF on Tuesday said, “A Hezbollah command and control center in the area of Jouaiyya in Southern Lebanon, which was used to direct terror attacks against Israeli territory from southeastern Lebanon in recent months, was struck by the IAF. As part of the strike, Sami Taleb Abdullah, the commander of the Nasr Unit in the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was eliminated. Sami Taleb Abdullah was one of Hezbollah’s most senior commanders in southern Lebanon.”
