After the IDF called on civilians in many communities in northern Israel to remain close to bomb shelters, sirens warning of rocket fire from Lebanon are sounding.
The alerts are activated in the city of Safed, many nearby towns in the Galilee, and in Ortal in the northern Golan Heights.
Locals report numerous Iron Dome interceptions, amid what appears to be a major Hezbollah rocket attack.
