‘Two rockets fired from Lebanon hit zionist regime’

Two rockets fired from Lebanon have reportedly hit an area near a northern Israeli town, causing troops to respond with artillery fire.

According to Israeli sources, the rockets, which were fired on Friday, were a couple of Katyushas.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said a lone rocket crashed into a field near Kfar Yuval, between the cities of Metula and Kiryat Shmona, while Israeli media reported that two Katyusha rockets slammed into an area north of Kiryat Shmona, one of which struck a deserted road.

Lebanon’s news agency NNA also reported that the rockets were fired toward “occupied territories” at 6.30 a.m. (0430 GMT) from the Hasbaya area in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the spokeswoman noted that the military hit back with artillery fire. Lebanese security sources also said the Israeli regime shot back around 25 shells.

“The Israelis fired back, launching some 25 shells at the outskirts of Kfar Shuba,” an unnamed Lebanese security source said, referring to a village in the south.

There have been no reports of casualties or damage.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. However, the Israeli army says the projectiles were fired by a Palestinian group in an act of solidarity with Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, which is engaged in a confrontation with the Israeli military.

Israeli warplanes and drones have reportedly pounded more than 600 targets across the Gaza Strip since Tuesday, leaving more than 100 people dead.

Israel has also mobilized 20,000 soldiers for a possible ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.
