At least 20 rockets were fired from Lebanon at Kiryat Shmona about half an hour ago, according to the IDF.

Several of the rockets were shot down by the Iron Dome, but some struck the northern city, causing damage to buildings, according to police.

There are no reports of injuries. Meanwhile, new sirens sound in Kiryat Shmona.
