Israeli army detects additional rockets fired from Lebanon toward Galilee area

JERUSALEM

The Israeli army said Friday it detected more rockets fired from southern Lebanon toward the Galilee area in northern Israel amid ongoing tension with the Hezbollah resistance group.

The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper cited the Israeli army that said 10 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon toward the Margaliot settlement.

The newspaper added that the Israeli army responded by targeting rocket launcher sites.

In one of Hezbollah's statements, the group said fighters fired a barrage of Katyusha rockets toward the Margaliot settlement in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon's southern villages and towns.

Israeli public broadcaster KAN, meanwhile, said two soldiers were injured from the rockets fired on the northern Kiryat Shmona settlement.

Earlier Friday, Hezbollah struck Israeli military sites, while Israel intensified airstrikes in southern Lebanon, resulting in at least one injury.

Tensions have soared along Lebanon’s border with Israel amid cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces as Tel Aviv presses ahead with a deadly onslaught against the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 38,000 victims since Oct. 7.
