Air raid sirens sounded across multiple locations in Israel, including the commercial hub of Tel Aviv and the southern coastal city of Ashdod, following rocket fire launched from Lebanon, according to initial reports.
Israel’s Home Front Command issued alerts for several regions, including areas in and around Tel Aviv as well as southern communities located far from the Lebanese border, signaling a wider security escalation.
There were no immediate reports of casualties. However, Israeli media reported that air-defence systems intercepted at least one incoming projectile during the attack.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah issued statements on Telegram claiming responsibility for the operation, saying it had carried out three waves of rocket and drone strikes in the early hours of the morning targeting Israeli soldiers along the border and a town in northern Israel.
The incident marks another escalation in cross-border hostilities between Israel and Lebanon, heightening concerns of broader regional spillover amid already heightened tensions.
