A barrage of some 15 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Kiryat Shmona area an hour ago, the IDF says.
Ten of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, and the other five impacts caused no injuries, according to the military.
Hezbollah claimed responsibly, saying it launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at a military base in the area.
Meanwhile, the IDF says its fighter jets struck a building in southern Lebanon’s Yarine after a Hezbollah operative was identified entering the structure.
It publishes footage of the strike.
