Sirens sounded in northern Israel this morning as around 45 rockets were launched towards the country from Lebanon, according to the Israeli military. The Israel Defense Forces reported that following the alerts in the Western Galilee area, approximately 45 launches were detected, with some intercepted and the rest falling in open areas.
Prior to this incident, the last rocket fire into northern Israel had occurred about 19 hours earlier. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they had sent a 'barrage of rockets' towards Kiryat Motzkin and military sites north of Haifa in 'defense of Lebanon' and in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
