A barrage of some 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel earlier this evening, the IDF says.
Most of the rockets were shot by air defenses, and no injuries were caused, according to the IDF.
The IDF says that about half an hour later, another 10 rockets were fired at the Neve Ativ area, which all impacted open areas.
A short while after that attack, the IDF says one rocket was fired from Lebanon at Majdal Shams, which impacted a soccer field, causing numerous casualties.
