Lebanese media, including the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar outlet, report Israeli strikes on several areas of southern Lebanon, after a day of heavy cross-border fire.
Strikes are reported in Aiaroun, Maroun al-Ras, Yaroun, Khiam, Deir Mimas and Tallouseh.
The towns are all relatively close to the part of southern Lebanon that borders the Galilee panhandle, a finger of land that is home to Kiryat Shmona.
The city was targeted with two substantive Hezbollah volleys overnight, with at least 2 rockets hitting the city.
There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
Dozens of rockets were fired at Kiryat Shmona in a late night volley, the city says, with at least two impacting inside the city and causing damage.
There are no injuries, a spokesperson for the largely evacuated city says.
One rocket scored a direct hit on an unspecified building, while another landed on a sidewalk. “There is damage to the building, to property, to infrastructure and to a parked car,” the city says.
Crews are currently scanning the city to find if there were any more impacts, but are impeded somewhat by the late-night darkness, the spokesperson says.
The attack was the second to target the city in hours.
Hezbollah claims the attack, saying it fired “intense volleys” at the city to avenge an Israeli strike in Lebanon that Beirut said killed three emergency workers.

No injuries, damage after Hezbollah fires five rockets at Kiryat Shmona
The city of Kiryat Shmona says five rockets were fired at the city, but none managed to cause any injuries or serious damage.
Some of the rockets were shot down and one landed in an uninhabited area, the city says.
Hezbollah claims responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted Kiryat Shmona in revenge for an Israeli strike earlier in the day that Lebanon said killed three emergency workers in the town of Froun.
