Reports of dozens of rockets fired at Upper Galilee town of Meron from Lebanon

Red alert sirens have been triggered in the Upper Galilee town of Meron amid reports that Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets into Israel.
In an apparent escalation, Meron is located further south than most of the northern towns that have been impacted by Hezbollah rocket fire since October 7.
The rocket fire comes hours after Israel carried out a drone strike in the southern Lebanese town of Nebetia in which two Hezbollah operatives were killed.
That strike was reportedly in retaliation for an earlier Hezbollah launch at a military base that seriously injured an Israeli soldier stationed there.
