At least 34 rockets said launched from Lebanon in largest attack for years
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent.
Israeli officials say at least 34 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon at the Western and Upper Galilee in northern Israel earlier.
According to initial assessments cited by the Kan public broadcaster, at least five landed in Israeli territory, some causing injuries and damage.
The rest were downed by the Iron Dome air defense system.
The Israel Defense Forces has yet to provide an exact number of rockets.
The attack may mark the largest number of rockets fired from Lebanon since the 2006 war, during which thousands of rockets were launched at Israel. In August 2021, Hezbollah fired 19 rockets at northern Israel.
