More than 25 rockets and a suspected drone were launched by Hezbollah at northern Israel in the past hour and a half, according to the IDF.

At around 2:10 p.m., a suspected drone that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon was shot down over the Golan Heights, the military says. Sirens had sounded in the area amid the incident.

A short while later, the IDF says five rockets launched from Lebanon struck open areas near Kibbutz Shamir in the Upper Galilee.

At 2:29 p.m., a barrage of 20 more rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle area, with the IDF saying most were shot down by air defenses and others struck open areas.

There were no injuries in the attacks.
