IDF says some 20 rockets launched from Lebanon, most intercepted; no injuries
Around 20 projectiles were launched from Lebanon not long ago, with the majority of them intercepted over Israel, the military says.
Incoming rocket sirens sounded at 11:30 p.m. in the northern communities of Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot and Manara. Nine minutes later, alerts blared again in Kiryat Shmona as well as Metula and several other towns.
The IDF says there are no reports of injuries.
Hebrew media says some of the rockets landed in the evacuated city of Kiryat Shmona, including one that hit a shopping mall.
Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for launching “dozens” of rockets, saying it is in response to Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon.
