(Worthy News) – Following a period of relative calm, sirens wailed on Saturday morning across Israeli northern border towns, including Kiryat Shmona, in response to a barrage of at least 25 rockets launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that a morning barrage, comprising approximately 25 rockets, triggered sirens including the towns of Sassa and Shtula. All the projectiles landed in uninhabited areas.
In response to the repeated cross-border attacks, the IDF said it shelled the sources of the rocket fire with artillery and carried out air strikes against numerous Hezbollah sites.
Lebanese officials reported that an Israeli airstrike struck a building in an industrial area near the town of Nabatiya, represented one of the most significant Israeli strikes within Lebanese territory since the resumption of hostilities last month. However, Israeli officials did not confirm the air strike.
The alleged air strike near the village of Toul, which is located a considerable distance from the border, would mark the first such incident in the area since the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
According to the Lebanese National News Agency, firefighting crews and ambulances swiftly responded to the area, but the report did not specify any casualties. Journalists attempting to access the factory were prevented by members of Hezbollah, according to multiple reports.
The IDF also reported that its air defenses successfully intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” flying over Lebanese airspace.
