Incoming rocket sirens are sounding across northern Israel, hours after an alleged Israeli airstrike killed a senior Hezbollah commander.

Sirens sound in the cities of Safed, Rosh Pina, and Tiberias, as well as numerous other towns in the Galilee. Footage posted to social media shows the Iron Dome intercepting many rockets over the area.

There are no immediate reports of injuries.

In last night’s strike in south Lebanon’s Jouaiyya, Taleb Abdullah and three other Hezbollah operatives were killed. Abdullah is considered to be the most senior Hezbollah officer killed amid the ongoing war.
