No injuries are reported after Hezbollah fired missiles toward southern Israel, setting off sirens in Ashkelon and several communities near the border with the Gaza Strip.
The long-range projectiles struck open areas, according to the military.
It apparently marks the first time Hezbollah has targeted the Gaza border area, located some 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Lebanon. Hezbollah has been known to possess missiles that can reach practically everywhere in Israel.
Meanwhile, a rocket impact is reported in Kiryat Shmona, with damage caused but no injuries, according to rescue services.
