The IDF says a barrage of some 40 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle and Golan Heights, after sirens sounded in the area.
Some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, and the rest struck open areas, the military says. Some of the rocket impacts in open areas sparked fires.
There are no injuries reported in the attack, which is claimed by Hezbollah.
The Lebanese terror group says it bombarded an Israeli military base with dozens of Katyusha rockets in response to recent IDF airstrikes in Lebanon, including an alleged drone strike yesterday on a motorcycle in the coastal village of Sarafand, south of Sidon.
