2nd barrage of some 30 rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon, taking morning’s total to 100
A second barrage of around 30 rockets is fired from Lebanon, taking the total projectiles launched this morning toward Israel to some 100.
Sirens did not sound for the second barrage as the rockets impacted in open areas, Hebrew-language media reports.
There are no reports of injuries or damage.
The heavy rocket fire came after the Israel Defense Forces confirmed it carried out strikes deep in Lebanon, saying fighter jets hit a pair of sites used by Hezbollah.
According to an IDF statement, the strikes targeted facilities belonging to Hezbollah’s air defense unit and were in response to the Lebanese terror group’s recent launching explosives-laden drones toward the Golan Heights.
