Israel claims it intercepted missiles coming from Lebanon

Writing on its Telegram page, the Israeli military said it intercepted approximately 35 missiles crossing from Lebanon towards Israel. 

"The IDF Aerial Defense Array intercepted a number of the launches. In addition, since this morning, terrorists launched a number of anti-tank missiles and mortars at various locations along the border with Lebanon," the Israeli army wrote on Telegram. 

Reports of interceptions come after an Israeli strike on Wednesday night on the village of Beit Yahoun in south Lebanon killed five Hezbollah fighters, including the son of a senior Hezbollah member. 

Hezbollah confirmed the death of five of its members, including Abbas Raad, who was the son of senior Hezbollah figure and member of parliament Mohammad Raad, who was sanctioned by the United States in 2019.
