Jerusalem: The Israeli military has reported that more than 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon early Sunday morning, prompting fire services to combat blazes ignited by the falling munitions in northern Israel.
The Lebanese group Hezbollah has engaged in regular exchanges of fire with Israeli forces throughout the ongoing Gaza conflict, but recent days have seen a significant escalation in cross-border violence.
The military noted that approximately 20 projectiles were detected crossing from Lebanon shortly before 5:00 AM (0200 GMT), followed by a larger barrage of around 85 projectiles launched after 6:00 AM (0300 GMT).
Additionally, Israeli medical emergency service Magen David Adom reported that four individuals sustained injuries from shrapnel during the night.
The military also indicated that multiple suspicious aerial targets approached Israel from the east, specifically from the direction of Iraq, but these were intercepted with no reported injuries.
The situation remains tense as both sides continue to navigate this escalating conflict.
