According to the IDF’s latest assessments, Hezbollah only managed to launch 24 rockets at northern Israel overnight, all of which were intercepted by air defenses.
Large pieces of shrapnel fell in the Jezreel Valley following the interceptions, causing damage to a barn in one area and slightly wounding a man in another. The IDF says there were no direct rocket impacts in the attacks, claimed by Hezbollah.
The first barrage at around 1 a.m. included seven rockets, the second barrage shortly before 5 a.m. included 12 rockets, and the third barrage after 5 a.m. included five rockets, according to the IDF.
Hezbollah claimed to have targeted the Ramat David Airbase with dozens of rockets in each barrage.
The military says that its large waves of airstrikes in Lebanon yesterday afternoon and into the night likely foiled the majority of Hezbollah’s planned launches.
The strikes hit hundreds of Hezbollah rocket launchers aimed at northern Israel, according to the IDF.
