Hezbollah says it has launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at Israel.
The Iran-backed terror group says its latest attack, on Moshav Beit Hillel, is in response to Israel’s attacks on Kfar Kela and Deir Siriane in Lebanon which, it claims, injured civilians there.
Many of the projectiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome system.
Israeli local authorities say several impacts were recognized near Beit Hillel. The Ynet news site reports fires broke out in the area.
