Rockets fired from Lebanon towards Israel

Several rockets were fired from south Lebanon towards Israel late on Monday, but they landed on the Lebanese side of the border, the Israeli military said.

"6 rockets were just fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel, all of which fell inside Lebanon," the Israeli army said in a tweet. "In response, our artillery forces fired toward the sources of the launches."

Israeli newspaper Haaretz said residents of the northern Israeli town of Misgav were instructed to stay in their homes after sounds of explosions were heard in the area.

Lebanon's MTV said three rockets were fired from the Arqoub region of south Lebanon towards Israel. Last week, rockets were also launched from south Lebanon, but the Israeli army said they landed in the sea.

The first rocket attack, launched from outside of Tyre, was attributed to a Palestinian armed group based in the refugee camp of Rashidiya near the coastal Lebanese city.

Earlier on Monday, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that the Israeli military had fired flares over the Lebanese border town of Mays al-Jabal.
