A barrage of at least 20 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Kiryat Shmona area in northern Israel, the IDF says.
The military says some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
There are no immediate reports of injuries.
Kiryat Shmona and nearby communities are largely evacuated of civilians amid daily attacks by the Hezbollah terror group.
