The Israeli army said early Thursday that rockets fired from Lebanon struck near its forces operating in southern Lebanon, though no casualties or damage were immediately reported. Two projectiles landed close to troop positions, while additional launches were detected toward several residential areas in northern Israel, according to the military statement.
Israel’s Home Front Command confirmed that warning sirens sounded in the Upper Galilee communities of Misgav Am and Metula. The alerts came as tensions remained high along the border following weeks of clashes.
Offensive continues despite April ceasefire
Israel has maintained an offensive on Lebanon since March 2 that has killed nearly 3,700 people and injured over 11,400 others as of Tuesday, according to official Lebanese figures. The attacks have persisted despite a ceasefire agreement that formally began on April 17, raising concerns about further escalation.
The military operation marks one of the deadliest periods in the conflict between Israel and Lebanon-based militants. Diplomatic efforts to reinforce the truce have so far failed to halt the violence.
