At least 30 projectiles fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel

At least 30 projectiles were fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel in less than an hour, according to Israeli media on Wednesday morning. Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that more than 20 projectiles were initially launched toward the Galilee Panhandle, with about eight intercepted by air defense systems, while the rest fell in open areas.

Second barrage

Around 10 additional projectiles were fired toward Acre, Nahariya, and nearby communities, the report said, adding three were intercepted, with the remainder landing in open areas. There were no immediate reports of casualties or material damage.

Conflict context

The attacks come amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel has carried out airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024. Lebanese authorities report over 1,900 killed and 6,000 wounded since March 2.

Ceasefire context

The projectile attacks occurred despite a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, though Israel has stated that the truce does not include Lebanon. Talks between Lebanon and Israel are expected to take place in the US, described as preparatory in nature.
