The IDF confirms that several rockets were fired at the Western Galilee a short while ago, with some impacting open areas and others falling short in Lebanon.

There are no injuries, after sirens sound in a number of towns near the northern border.

The army also says it struck a rocket launcher in southern Lebanon used in an attack earlier today on Kiryat Shmona.

Hamas claimed responsibility for the barrages, saying it fired 40 Grad rockets at army bases in the area. According to the IDF, only some 15 rockets crossed the border, one of which hit a home in Kiryat Shmona.

The IDF also says it struck several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon’s Ibl al-Saqi, Bint Jbeil, and Yaroun.
