Around eight rockets were fired from Lebanon, landing near the “Astra” army post on Mount Hermon early Sunday afternoon, the IDF said on Sunday.

The IDF has returned fire to the sources of the rockets in Lebanon.

IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, speaking to the Judea and Samaria Division on Sunday, said that Hezbollah “chose to enter this war” with Israel.

“We forced it to pay a very high price that keeps rising, it paid yesterday with seven killed and two very important targets struck,” Halevi told Israeli forces. “This war will end with us having the responsibility, the duty, to return our northern residents home. 

“This will arrive either due to our growing military pressure to create a completely different reality…or we will start another war.”
