After over 40 rocket launches from Lebanon crossed into Israeli territory on Friday, the IDF responded by striking the sources of fire, the military stated.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the launches.
No injuries were reported in Israel as a result of the rocket fire.
This rocket fire comes after nearly 48 hours of quiet on the northern front, raising suspicion at a time when the threat from Iran is at the forefront of people’s minds.
IDF spokesperson R-Adm. Daniel Hagari, during a public briefing, said, “I emphasize that at this stage, there is no change in the Home Front Command’s instructions. If there is a change, we will update you immediately. It is right to say that the coming days require us to be alert and prepared. I know this situation raises many questions, and therefore, we will keep updating the public regularly. All instructions for conduct during an alert and emergency situation are detailed on the Home Front Command website.”
Striking launch sites
Additionally, the IDF reported that Israeli jets had struck Hezbollah military compounds in the southern Lebanon area of Ayta ash Shab in which terrorists were operating. Another Hezbollah compound in the area of Taybeh was also reportedly struck.
Earlier, sirens sounded in the Upper Galilee, indicating possible hostile aircraft intrusions. The IDF later labeled these as false alarms.
