Israel intercepts biggest rocket barrage from Lebanon since war

Israel mostly intercepted a barrage of rockets from Lebanon on Thursday, which was the most sustained attack since a 2006 war, and a day after a spike in tensions in Gaza and Jerusalem that coincided with religious holidays.

At least 34 rockets were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon, of which 25 were successfully intercepted, according to initial information from the Israeli army. Five rockets landed in Israeli territory.

Two people in the Galilee region were injured, including a man hit by shrapnel and a woman as she ran to a shelter, Israeli medical aid society Magen David Adom said.
