Artillery forces also fired toward the areas of Shebaa and Rachaya Al Foukhar, the IDF says.
Regarding rocket sirens that sounded this morning in the Western Galilee, the army says it launched an interceptor at an unidentified suspicious aerial target that crossed over from Lebanon. That incident is “over,” it says without elaborating, adding that the alert sounded out of fear of falling shrapnel from the interceptor.
Additionally, an explosive drone that crossed from Lebanon landed near the town of Malkia, without causing casualties, the IDF says.
