Some 40 rockets were launched from Lebanon at the Galilee and Golan Heights in the past hour, according to the IDF.
The military says several rockets were intercepted by air defenses, while others impacted, causing fires and lightly injuring two people.
At the same time, five “suspicious aerial targets” — thought to be drones — were identified from around 2 p.m., setting off sirens across northern Israel.
The IDF says three of the targets were intercepted by air defenses, without elaborating on the other two.
