The Israeli army said early on Thursday that rockets fired from Lebanon struck near its forces operating in southern Lebanon as warning sirens sounded in northern Israel.
In a statement, the army said two rockets landed near its forces without immediately reporting casualties or damage.
The army also said launches were detected from Lebanon towards what it described as several residential areas in northern Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Home Front Command said warning sirens sounded in Misgav Am and Metula in the Upper Galilee.
Since March 2, Israel has been conducting an offensive in Lebanon that has killed nearly 3,700 people and injured more than 11,400 others as of Tuesday, according to official Lebanese figures. Israel also started a ground invasion, occupying around 2,000sq kilometres of Lebanese territory.
Last week, Israel and the Lebanese government agreed to extend a US-brokered ceasefire that began on April 17, contingent on Hezbollah halting its attacks and evacuating from an area of southern Lebanon. Lebanon and Israel agreed to the creation of “pilot zones” where the Lebanese army would take exclusive control to the “exclusion of all non-state actors.”
Israel has continued its attacks despite the ceasefire.
