More than 65 rockets have been launched from Lebanon at northern Israel this morning, according to the IDF.
The military says some 10 rockets were launched at areas east of Haifa at 7:43 a.m., several of which were intercepted by air defenses.
Shrapnel from an intercepted rocket lightly wounded a 58-year-old woman, medics say. She was taken to a hospital.
At 9:36 a.m., five rockets were launched at the Jezreel Valley, some of which were intercepted and the rest struck open areas. There were no injuries.
At 9:42 a.m., a barrage of 50 rockets was fired at the Kiryat Shmona area. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted, while others struck the city, causing damage but no injuries.
Firefighters are working to extinguish fires sparked in the Kiryat Shmona area.
The attacks come after two rockets were launched at Nahariya early this morning, and another 20 were fired overnight at the Jezreel Valley, bringing the total today to nearly 90.
Meanwhile, fresh sirens sound in the Lower Galilee.
