Sirens indicating rocket attacks and possible drone incursions sounded across northern Israel on Friday after the IDK struck Hezbollah targets earlier in the day.
The sirens sounded in northeastern Israel near the Lebanon border and lasted nearly 15 minutes.
The IDF stated during the barrage that the Israel Air Force had struck a Hezbollah infrastructure belonging to the terror group’s Aerial Unit in the Jabal Safi area, north of Nabatieh, in the center of the country.
The IDF said this particular site had been used to launch surface-to-air missiles toward Israeli aircraft over the preceding months.
The IDF later confirmed that a number of drones had crossed into Israel from Lebanon and that interception efforts were underway.
Israel’s emergency service, Magen David Adom, subsequently stated that it had not received any reports of casualties thus far.
Earlier strikes in Lebanon
Earlier on Friday, the IDF announced that it had struck targets in southern Lebanon after several anti-tank missiles were identified crossing from Lebanon toward Israel.
No injuries were reported as a result of the anti-tank missiles.
IDF troops identified terrorists operating a Hezbollah military structure in the area of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon. The Air Force subsequently struck the structure and terrorists.
An additional Hezbollah military structure was struck in the area of Chihine in southern Lebanon, while throughout the day, IDF artillery struck targets in the area of Naqoura.
Following the sirens in northern Israel later on Friday, the IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon.
This is a developing story.
