Rockets fired from south Lebanon towards Israel

Four rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel, military officials said, as the Israeli army responded with artillery fire. 

Two landed in the northern city of Shfaram, the Israeli police said, adding that they caused no damage or injuries.

Israel’s military said it has shelled “a number of targets” in Lebanon in response to the rockets.  

The rockets were launched from near Seddiqine, a village in the region of the coastal city of Tyre, Lebanese sources told Reuters.

Sirens warning of incoming rockets had sounded in lower Galilee, in northern Israel.

Residents of the town of Krayot, near Haifa, told Reuters that they heard three explosions.

It was not clear who was behind the cross-border fire, the third in the past week.

On Monday, six rockets fired from Lebanon fell short of crossing the border.

Last Thursday, three Grad rockets were fired towards Israel from Basateen al-Qulayla, a southern coastal area near al-Qulayla village, but landed in the Mediterranean Sea. 

The area lies around 1km from the Palestinian refugee camp of al-Rashidiya, down the coast from Tyre.
