Several rockets were launched from Lebanon at the Galilee a short while ago, in the first Hezbollah attack on northern Israel in over 12 hours.

According to the IDF, some of the rockets were intercepted while others were allowed to strike open areas, “according to protocol.” The rockets triggered warnings in Yesod Hamaala, Lehavot Habashan, and Gonen.

No injuries are reported.

It marks the first attack from Lebanon on Israel since around 8 p.m. last night, when the military said several drones launched by Hezbollah at the Galilee Panhandle were intercepted.

Sirens also sounded before midnight and this morning in the Western Galilee, but according to the IDF, both incidents were false alarms.
