The Hamas terror group claims responsibility for rocket fire from Lebanon at northern Israel earlier.

In a statement, the terror group says its Lebanon branch targeted Nahariya with some 20 rockets “in response to the occupation’s crimes against our people in Gaza.”

The attack caused no injuries or damage.

The IDF says nine rockets crossed into Israel, five were intercepted and four fell in open areas.
