The Israeli army announced on Sunday that fires broke out in the Golan Heights and northern Israel due to an attack by drones and missiles from Lebanon, amidst ongoing mutual border shelling with Hezbollah.
The Israeli army stated in a statement that two drones launched from Lebanese territory fell in northern Golan, causing fires in the area, adding that Israeli firefighting teams are now working to extinguish the fires.
The army added that about 10 rockets from Lebanon landed in open areas in the town of Zar’ura in northern Israel, causing fires in the area, noting that sources of rocket launch were targeted.
Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli army announced the sounding of alarm sirens in northern Israel, and according to two brief statements on Telegram, alarm sirens sounded twice in less than 10 minutes. The Lebanese Hezbollah group announced that its fighters had targeted with Katyusha rockets artillery positions and an Israeli soldiers’ gathering in the Zar’ura area in the Golan Heights in response to Israeli shelling in southern Lebanon.
Al-Mayadeen TV reported that more than 40 rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel. The Hezbollah group had announced in a statement on Sunday the killing of one of its members in southern Lebanon amid mutual border shelling with the Israeli army. The group also said in another statement that its fighters had targeted the Israeli Rama site in the Kafr Shuba hills border area “with rocket weapons and directly hit it.”
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the outskirts of the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon were subjected to Israeli artillery shelling, without providing further details immediately. Almost daily reciprocal shelling across the border between the Israeli army on one side and Hezbollah and armed Palestinian factions in Lebanon on the other side erupted with the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year.
