A barrage of some 15 rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Kiryat Shmona area in the past hour.

Some of the rockets were shot down by the Iron Dome system, while others impacted open areas near the city in northern Israel.

Additionally, several more projectiles were fired at the Mount Dov area on the border, the IDF says.

The military does not immediately release details on possible causalities in the attacks.

It says troops shelled the launch sites with artillery.

Meanwhile, fighter jets struck a Hezbollah rocket launcher in Kfarhamam, infrastructure in Ayta ash-Shab, and an observation post in Khiam, the IDF adds.
