The IDF says sirens that sounded in the northern community of Klil earlier were due to an interceptor missile being launched at a “suspicious aerial target” that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon.

No further details are given.

Additionally, the IDF says it struck a group of gunmen in southern Lebanon earlier, and that several rockets were fired at the border in the last few hours.

It adds that troops are responding with artillery shelling at the sources of the fire in southern Lebanon.
