Sirens were activated in northern Israel a short while ago due to projectiles fired from Lebanon, the IDF says.
The sirens went off in the northern city of Haifa and surrounding areas, as well as in several other locations in the Upper Galilee.
The IDF says the details of the incident are under investigation, and Magen David Adom says it has not received any reports of injuries.
It is not immediately clear who is responsible for the launches, but Hebrew media reports that Hezbollah is behind the rocket fire, although the terror group has not confirmed this.
It would be the first time that Hezbollah has joined Iran in its attacks on Israel, as it did not get involved during the previous Israel-Iran war in June.
It would also mark the first time that the terror group has fired at Israel since the US-brokered Israel-Lebanon ceasefire came into effect in November 2024.
