Israeli Army Radio said on Wednesday that air raid sirens activated in several areas of Northern Israel as a salvo of rockets has been launched from Lebanon, reports Al Jazeera.
Israel’s Home Front Command reports that sirens are sounding in dozens of towns in the Sharon region, the Netanya the Upper Galilee and the northern occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military has said that at least some of the alerts were caused by a surface-to-surface ballistic missile fired from Lebanon which exploded.
The state financed Army Radio reported no casualties or damage, quoting the military officials.
However, Hezbollah said on its social media account that it has launched two barrages of rockets were fired at the Israeli settlements of Kafr Yufal and Moian Baruch in northern Israel at about 8:40pm (18:40 GMT) and 10:00pm (20:00 GMT) local time.
A third barrage of rockets targeted a “gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers” in the Wadi al-Khiam area of southern Lebanon at about 10:15pm (20:15 GMT), it added on the social media post.
Lebanese media reported earlier on Tuesday that Israeli tanks were in the region of southern Lebanon’s town of Khiam and a strike had hit a civilian home in the Wadi al-Khiam area where two families were present.
Contact was lost with the 17 people, including women and children, in the house that was targeted, Lebanon’s NNA news agency reported.
