Interceptors have been activated in northern Israel as Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets across the border, the Israel Defense Forces said in the early hours of Sunday.

The air attack sirens were activated at around 1:10 am in Haifa, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee, according to the Jerusalem Post.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the IDF said that “around 10 launches” were detected from the Lebanese territory. Most of the projectiles were intercepted, the IDF added.

One of the rockets reportedly fell in the Nazareth area. A 60-year-old man has been lightly wounded by shrapnel in the Lower Galilee, according to MDA, Israel’s emergency medical and disaster services organization.

The barrage marks the latest round of escalation between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah, which has been carrying out cross-border attacks in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza.

The IDF said it struck around 180 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon throughout Saturday, destroying “thousands of launcher barrels ready for immediate use against Israel civilians.” Israeli jets struck a suburb of Beirut on Friday, killing several high-ranking Hezbollah commanders. According to the Lebanese authorities, 37 people were killed.

Israeli fighter jets are carrying out more strikes in southern Lebanon, according to Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al Mayadeen, after the terror group fired at least 10 rockets deep into northern Israel, triggering sirens in dozens of towns and cities.

The IDF says most of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, and medics say one man was lightly injured by shrapnel in the barrage.

There is no immediate comment on the reported new strikes from the Israel Defense Forces.

IDF fighter jets carried out a series of strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in the afternoon and evening after the military said it had identified preparations by the terror group to launch major rocket attacks against Israel.
