Several mortars were fired from Lebanon at Israeli military posts along the northern border a short while ago, setting off sirens in a number of towns in the Western Galilee.

There are no reports of injuries in the attack.

The Israel Defense Forces says it is responding with artillery shelling against the source of the fire in southern Lebanon.
