This morning, Iran-backed Hizbullah terrorist fired 19 rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon, sending residents in a number of towns in the Golan Heights and Galilee Panhandle scrambling to shelters.
According to the IDF, 10 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, six landed in open around Mount Dov, and three landed in Lebanese territory.
What is particularly noteworthy is how some Lebanese-Druze villagers – sick of being used as human shields – fought back against the terrorists, preventing them from firing more rockets.
Hezbollah isn’t just a terror group firing rockets at Iarael they are holding the people of Lebanon hostage. Watch this footage of Lebanese stopping Hezbollah from firing rockets at Israel from their village in Choiaiyya.

Israel has for a long time claimed that Hizbullah used civilians as human shields. Perhaps more people will believe us now.
That includes you, Mark.
Update: More here (hat tip: Alyssa):
This time Hezbollah got caught red handed by objecting civilians. No more unclaimed rocket fire to invite retaliation on their villages. How embarrassing. Unprecedented. #Lebanon #Iran #Israel pic.twitter.com/7N1Ccl9Yzf
