Hezbollah sends 70 rockets from Lebanon towards Galilee in response to IDF strikes - report
The group's launches were reportedly in response to Thursday's IDF attack on villages in southern Lebanon, according to Hezbollah-affilated Al-Mayadeen.
70 rockets were sent by Hezbollah in Lebanon into the Galilee region of northern Israel on Friday morning, including 15 in a single salvo, Israeli media announced.
The group's launches were reportedly in response to Thursday's IDF attack on villages in southern Lebanon, according to Hezbollah-affilated Al-Mayadeen.
Hezbollah also claimed to have carried out launches against Abirim and Neve Ziv, in northern Israel, for the first time, using Katyusha rocket launchers for both attacks, according to the same source.
Conflicting claims
They said direct hits were achieved in Metula and other areas, however the IDF claimed the siren in Metula on Friday morning was a false identification.
Also on Friday morning, the IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The sirens regarding rocket and missile launches sounded due to the danger of falling shrapnel from the interception. No injuries were reported.
