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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
