The Israel Defense Forces says three rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel a short while ago, setting off sirens in the Upper Galilee towns of Tuba-Zangariyye, Rosh Pina, Ayelet Hashahar, and Hatzor Haglilit.

According to the IDF, two of the projectiles were intercepted by air defenses, while the third landed in an open area, causing no damage.

Earlier, rockets were also fired from Lebanon at areas near the northern communities of Malkia and Arab al-Aramshe, causing no injuries.

The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling against the sources of the rocket fire.
