Some 37 rockets were fired in two volleys from Lebanon at the Mount Meron area a short while ago, according to the IDF.
In the first barrage of 30 rockets, one projectile was intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, the IDF says.
In the second barrage, seven rockets were fired, with six of them being successfully downed, it says.
There are no reports of injuries or damage. Hezbollah claims responsibility for the attack, saying it fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at the town of Meron.
It says the barrage is a response to the deaths of civilians in a reported Israeli strike in southern Lebanon’s Khirbet Selm last night. Five members of one family were reported killed in the strike.
Hezbollah announced that three of them, Jaafar Marji, Ali Marji, and Hassan Marji, were members of the terror group.
