The Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah fired some rockets at the Israeli border

Extensive Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon in response to rocket fire

One of them fell in the town of Kiryat Shmona and caught fire, while there were no reports of material damage or human injuries.

Two rockets fired from Lebanese territory fell today, Wednesday, in northern Israel. The Israeli army responded by launching "a massive artillery bombardment on southern Lebanon."

The Israeli army said that sirens sounded in the towns of Kiryat Shmona, Kfar Giladi and Tel Hai, to warn of missiles in northern Israel near the Lebanon border today.

According to the Israeli army, three missiles were fired from Lebanese territory into Israeli territory. Among these missiles, one fell on Lebanese territory, while two fell in Israel.

One of these rockets landed in the town of Kiryat Shmona, setting fire to it, while there were no reports of material damage or human casualties. Another was intercepted by the Israeli defense system known as Iron Dome.

At first, the Israeli army responded with artillery to the rocket launch site. Later, the army announced that it launched a massive artillery bombardment on southern Lebanon in response to the rocket fire

Security assessments in Israel indicate that "Palestinian factions launched rocket-propelled grenades from southern Lebanon."

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz were briefed on the events in northern Israel and "the two agreed to continue managing the event," according to a statement from Bennett's office.

In 2006, Israel fought a war with the terrorist Hezbollah, which enjoys influence in southern Lebanon and possesses advanced missiles. The border region has been quiet most of the time since then.

And in the past, small Palestinian factions in Lebanon fired missiles at Israel intermittently.

Two missiles were fired from Lebanon at Israel on July 20, but they did not cause damage or injuries. Israel responded with artillery fire
