Israel army says 100 rockets fired from Lebanon within hours

The Israeli military said more than 100 projectiles were fired from Lebanon, with fire services working to put out blazes sparked by falling munitions in Israel’s north, AFP reports.

The military said that “approximately 20 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon” shortly before 5am (0200 GMT), followed by a barrage of “approximately 85 projectiles” launched from Lebanon after 6am (0300 GMT).

Rockets were also fired during the night, the military said. Israel’s medical emergency service Magen David Adom said in a statement that four people were wounded from shrapnels during the night.

The military also reported attacks from the east.

During the night, “multiple suspicious aerial targets” approached Israel from the direction of Iraq, the military said, adding they were intercepted and caused no injuries.
