Rockets fired in Israel from Lebanon

The Israeli army has claimed that it had intercepted three rockets launched from Lebanon toward the Metula area in northern Israel.

In a statement, the army said: “Following the alerts that were activated at 7.32-7.34 am (0532-0534GMT) in Metula, three launches were detected that crossed Lebanese territory.”

The Israeli army claimed to have intercepted the launches. No further details were provided regarding the incident.

Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, in a statement reported by the daily Israel Hayom, warned that Tel Aviv “would not tolerate attacks from Lebanon on northern Israeli towns.”

He vowed to “ensure the security of Galilee settlements” and hinted at potential military action.

“If Metula is targeted, Beirut will be as well,” Katz stated, placing responsibility on the Lebanese government for any attacks launched from its territory.

He also confirmed that he had instructed the Israeli military to “respond accordingly,” without providing further details.
