Hezbollah rockets damage 1,500-year-old Byzantine church in northern Israel

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at northern Israel on April 10, 2026, striking Nahariya and damaging a 1,500-year-old Byzantine church, a site of significant historical and religious importance. The attack follows weeks of sustained Israeli bombardment across Lebanon, escalating regional tensions. The incident underscores the humanitarian toll of the Israel-Lebanon conflict and threatens irreplaceable cultural heritage in the Middle East. This pattern of tit-for-tat attacks raises concerns about broader regional destabilization and potential international involvement.
