More than 270 rockets have been fired from Lebanon at northern Israel today, according to the IDF.

In the last few hours, several barrages were launched, including 35 at the Lower Galilee at around 2:50 p.m., 15 at the Haifa Bay area at 3:00 p.m., 10 at the Jezreel Valley at 3:15 p.m., five at the Golan Heights at 3:30 p.m., 40 at the Safed area at 3:45 p.m., 30 at the Western Galilee at 5:30 p.m., and another 30 at the Safed area not long after.

Overnight, Hezbollah fired some 20 rockets at the Jezreel Valley in several barrages. In the early morning hours, it fired two rockets at Nahariya. And throughout the morning launched another 85 at several areas in northern Israel. Just after 1 p.m., five more rockets were launched toward Haifa.

Many of the rockets were intercepted or fell in open areas. However, there were several impacts that damaged homes and property and at least two people were lightly wounded by shrapnel.
