Sirens blared on Tuesday morning across various regions of central Israel and Samaria, with residents in Tel Aviv and Ra’anana reporting the sound of explosions.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that five rockets had been launched from Lebanon, targeting central Israel. While most were intercepted, one projectile did land in an open area. Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for the attack, stating the missiles were aimed at the IDF’s 8200 Intelligence Unit Base.

According to the IDF, more sirens were heard between 07:43 and 07:45 in the Upper Galilee and northern Golan Heights. Around 15 rockets were identified as coming from Lebanon. Some were intercepted, while the rest landed in open areas.

At this time, the IDF has not reported any injuries from the attacks.

Earlier in the morning, just before 7:00 a.m., sirens went off in western Samaria and Modi’in Illit. The IDF confirmed that one missile had crossed from Lebanon and landed in an open area within Israeli territory.

In the early hours of the day, just before 5:00 a.m., sirens were also triggered in Haifa and the surrounding region.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit revealed that approximately five rockets were launched from Lebanon toward Haifa. These were intercepted by the Israel Air Force (IAF), and no injuries were reported.

However, the Israel Police noted that officers and bomb disposal experts are actively searching for potential locations where fragments from intercepted rockets may have fallen.

The police also reported that debris from the intercepted missiles was found in the Druze villages of Isfiya and Daliyat al-Karmel, both near Haifa. One building in the area sustained minor damage.

Earlier in the night, alarms were triggered in the Upper Galilee and northern Golan Heights due to suspicions of an aerial infiltration.

The IDF stated that after sirens rang out at 12:26 a.m. in the Upper Galilee, the IAF intercepted an aerial threat crossing from Lebanon into Israeli airspace.

Alarms went off again due to the potential fall of debris from the intercepted target.

Later, between 12:51 a.m. and 12:52 a.m., more sirens were heard in the northern Golan Heights. The IDF confirmed that another aerial target had entered from the east. This object was tracked by the IAF and eventually fell in an open area.

There were no reported injuries from this incident either.

On Monday afternoon, sirens were heard in Haifa, the Krayot region, and throughout the Galilee, with multiple launches from Lebanon detected in these areas.

In a statement, the IDF confirmed that “following the sirens that were heard in various parts of the Galilee, Haifa Bay, Wadi Ara, and HaAmakim, the IAF successfully intercepted a rocket that had crossed into Israeli airspace from Lebanon.”

A foreign worker in his 40s sustained minor injuries after falling during the rocket barrage from Lebanon. He was treated and evacuated by Magen David Adom paramedics to Ziv Hospital in Tzfas.
