The Gaza Strip-based Hamas terror group claims responsibility for firing a barrage of rockets from Lebanon at northern Israel, as missiles were also fired simultaneously by other terror groups along the border.
In a statement, Hamas says its Lebanon branch fired 16 rockets at Nahariya, Haifa and nearby towns.
Video footage shows the Iron Dome air defense system intercepting rockets over the area. There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The IDF confirms that in the last hour, some 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel. It says troops are responding with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire.
The projectiles not fired by Hamas — presumably launched by Hezbollah or another Palestinian faction — set off sirens in the Upper Galilee.
