Dozens of rockets fired at Mount Meron from Lebanon, sparking blaze

A barrage of some 35 rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Mount Meron area in northern Israel a short while ago, the military says.

The IDF says the rockets struck open areas, and there are no reports of injuries. However, the rocket impacts spark at least one fire near the northern community of Safsufa.

The IDF says it is shelling south Lebanon’s Khiam, Houla, and Shebaa with artillery following the barrage.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah claims responsibility for an anti-tank guided missile attack earlier today in Metula, which damaged one home.
