Buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Maroun al-Ras were struck by Israeli fighter jets a short while ago, the military says.

Additional Hezbollah infrastructure was struck in Ayta ash-Shab and Houla, the IDF adds.

Meanwhile, a barrage of nine rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee a short while ago. The IDF says all the projectiles struck open areas and no injuries were caused.

Sirens had sounded in the communities of Gadot and Yesud Hama’ala, during the attack.

Earlier this evening, 10 rockets were fired at the Kiryat Shmona area, and a further five were launched at the Upper Galilee. Some of the rockets were downed by air defenses, and no injuries were caused, according to the IDF.
