Rocket attack reported in north; no injuries
Reports in Hebrew media indicate at least one rocket was fired into northern Israel from Lebanon after sirens are heard in Elkosh and Fassuta.
No injuries are reported in the attack. The towns, about 3.5 kilometers (2 miles) from the Lebanon border, remain largely populated, according to Army Radio.
There is no official comment from either the Israel Defense Forces or Hezbollah.
However, the Iran-backed terror group does claim several other attacks over the past hours, including what it says was an assault by a suicide drone squadron on an army barracks.
