Some 20 launches were fired at the Galilee in northern Israel on Sunday, the military said. The barrage resulted in one casualty.
The IDF noted that it had successfully intercepted some of the launches.
The rockets followed Israel’s Saturday elimination of Hezbollah terrorist Meitham Mustafa Altaar in an airstrike in the Baalbek area, deep within Lebanese territory.

Wounded man evacuated to hospital
Israel’s emergency medical service, the Magen David Adom (MDA), later stated that after the red alert sirens were activated in the Lower Galilee, a 28-year-old male was in serious condition due to wounds sustained from shrapnel and was being evacuated by paramedics to the Baruch Padeh Medical Center, Poriya.
MDA Paramedic David Fahima and Senior EMT Aviad Amar said the man “was fully conscious and suffered shrapnel wounds to his body.”
The paramedics added, “We gave him medical treatment and evacuated him in an MDA intensive care vehicle to the hospital, where he is in a serious and stable condition.”

Army Radio noted that alerts had been activated in localities where alarms had not sounded since October of last year.
A correspondent for the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese news outlet Al-Mayadeen reported that the missiles launched from Lebanon were fired at an Israeli military target near Tiberias.
