Some 50 rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel in an attack about an hour ago, according to the IDF, bringing the total tally today to over 120 rockets launched into the country.
The IDF says that some 20 rockets were fired at the Western Galilee and another 30 were launched at the Haifa Bay area in the barrage.
Some of the rockets were intercepted, the IDF says. Several rockets impacted, including one in the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Yam that caused damage to several cars.
Separately, the IDF says a drone launched from Lebanon a short while ago was shot down by air defenses over the Galilee Panhandle.
No injuries were caused in the latest attacks. An 85-year-old man was lightly injured by shrapnel earlier.
