Four rockets land in northern Israel, IDF strikes in Lebanon

Four rockets were launched north of Israel at Kiryat Shmona, near Israel's borders with Lebanon and Syria, the IDF confirmed earlier on Wednesday.

Residents of the nearby border towns of Kfar HaGiladi and Tel Hai were also told to seek shelter amid a rocket attack from the North.

The four rockets landed in open fields, the IDF said. The Iron Dome was not activated. The Israeli military was reportedly striking targets in Lebanon following the launch.

On Wednesday night, the Israeli military said it struck three terror cells in Lebanese territory, including the cell that launched the rockets at Israel's North hours earlier.

Additionally, the IDF struck a cell before it managed to carry out a rocket launch toward Israel. Another cell that was located near the Arab village of Arab al-Aramshe was shot down by Israeli tanks, the IDF said.

The Israeli military later said it was striking Hezbollah posts in Lebanon.

This is a developing story.
