Another 15 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee and Golan a short while ago, bringing the total since this morning to 55, the military says.
The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted, while the rest hit open areas, causing no injuries.
Hezbollah takes responsibility for the attack, saying it launched dozens of rockets at two military bases in response to an IDF strike deep in Lebanon yesterday.
The IDF says it also struck one of the launchers shortly after the rocket fire..
