One rocket was fired from Lebanon at the Yiftah area in northern Israel earlier this morning.
Hezbollah claims to have directly hit an army base in the area with the heavy “Burkan” rocket, though the IDF says the projectile struck an open area.
The IDF says it shelled the launch site with artillery.
The IDF also confirms that overnight and last night, airstrikes were carried out against Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon’s Labbouneh and Ayta ash-Shab.
It releases footage of the strike in Ayta ash-Shab.
