The IDF reported that 75 rockets were launched from Lebanon so far on Tuesday morning, some of which were intercepted by air defense fighters. Other rockets fell in open areas, according to the report.
Israeli media later reported that one interception was above Nahariya and another two fell into the ocean.
Police officers and bomb disposal experts were working to secure the impact sites. Emek Medical Center in Afula reported that four people had suffered from fractures and bruises on their limbs while on route to the protected area, according to Israeli media on Tuesday.
Responding to the attack, Israel Air Force aircraft attacked the sources of the rocket fire.
Earlier in the night
Interception debris and munitions fragments fell in several locations around northern Israel, including Nazareth and the Jezreel Valley, following Hezbollah's rocket barrages on Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Hezbollah took responsibility for an attack on Monday in which it claimed to have targeted multiple military facilities in Israel’s North, according to an announcement the organization made on its Telegram channel.
Launching Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets, Hezbollah aimed at Amos base, west of Afula, the explosive factory in Zichron, north of Caesarea, and the Megiddo airport in the Jezreel Valley.
