Boy suffers blast wounds after Hezbollah rockets target northern Israel

Israel's Magen David Adom treated a 13-year-old boy who had suffered light blast wounds from Hezbollah rockets, with rocket sirens sounded in the North on Sunday afternoon, the emergency medical service reported.

The wounded 13-year-old was taken to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya along with a number of other victims suffering from anxiety symptoms.

Earlier, Hezbollah had fired some 15 projectiles into Israeli territory from Lebanon, the IDF reported.

In its statement, the IDF claimed that the projectiles either crashed in open areas or were intercepted.

The IDF identified the barrage after sirens sounded in the North between 4:21 p.m. and 4:23 p.m.

Shortly after sirens initially sounded in the area, MDA stated that response teams were en route to the area of a reported rocket strike.

Sirens additionally sounded in the Western Galilee area, where Hezbollah launched three drones into Israeli territory, the IDF said in a statement later Sunday evening.

The drones were all intercepted. Sirens sounded due to the possibility of fallen shrapnel from the interception, the military added.

IDF reprisals

At the same time as the Sunday attacks on the North, the Israeli military has been striking targets across Lebanon.

In one instance, the Lebanese army reported in a post on X/Twitter that two soldiers died of their wounds after the Israeli military struck an army post in the Hasbaiyya-Mari area of southern Lebanon.

The IDF has mistakenly hit Lebanese army forces in some instances but has yet to comment on the matter and generally has tried to avoid hitting Lebanese army forces, given that they are often opposed to Hezbollah or at least not affiliated with it.

Additionally, an IAF airstrike on the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, killed the terror organization's media relations chief, Mohammad Afif.
