The Israeli army claimed today to have detected 120 rockets and two 'drones' launched from Lebanon against northern Israel, some of which were intercepted and the rest hit, with no known casualties.
In a statement, the Israeli army stated in its account on the Telegram platform that Hezbollah had fired more than 120 projectiles from Lebanon into Israeli territory until 4pm local time today (2pm in Lisbon).
In a previously released statement, the Israeli army said 25 projectiles were fired into the Upper Galilee area, triggering anti-aircraft alarms. Some were intercepted and others hit their targets.
The Israeli army also reported that two drones crossed Lebanon today, one of which was intercepted off the coast of the city of Nahariya and the other crashed in a deserted area.
Israel has been exchanging fire with the Iranian-allied Shiite group Hezbollah across the Lebanese border for nearly a year, and last Monday, after a week of heavy Israeli bombing in southern and eastern Lebanon, the Authorities announced that they would send troops to southern Lebanon to dismantle the militia's infrastructure.
After almost two days without reports of fighting, the Israeli army confirmed on Wednesday night the death of eight soldiers in clashes with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Additionally, Israeli forces launched several attacks against Beirut, focusing mainly on the city's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, and shot down several senior Hezbollah officials, including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.
According to Lebanese authorities, heavy bombing has already killed around 2,000 people and left a million people homeless.
