August was the month with the most rockets fired from Lebanon amid the ongoing war, according to new data published by the Shin Bet security agency.
The latest Shin Bet report says that 1,307 rockets were fired at Israel from the northern front, meaning Lebanon and Syria, amounting to just over 40 a day on average.
July saw 1,091 rockets, June saw 855, May saw 1,000, April saw 744, March saw 746, February saw 534, and January saw 334, according to the Shin Bet.
The vast majority of the rockets were fired from Lebanon rather than Syria.
In the past month, only 116 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza, the latest report says.
