1. Various of smoke rising from Israel-Lebanon border after Iron Dome anti-air system fired
STORYLINE:
Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system has been intercepting and knocking out rockets and other projectiles from Lebanon.
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah announced that it fired a barrage of missiles at a military base deep inside Israel early Sunday following an Israeli airstrike more than a day earlier that killed at least 37 people, including one of the militant group’s senior leaders as well as women and children.
It was not immediately clear if any of the rockets had hit their target. Israel’s emergency medical services reported that a man was lightly wounded by shrapnel from a missile that was intercepted in a village in the lower Galilee.
Local media reported that rockets shot from Lebanon were intercepted in the areas of Haifa and Nazareth. The Israeli military said only that it had monitored the launch of “about ten rockets” from Lebanon, of which most were intercepted.
Hezbollah said it had launched “dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles” – a new type of weapon the group had not used before – at the Ramat David airbase, southeast of Haifa, “in response to the repeated Israeli attacks that targeted various Lebanese regions and led to the fall of many civilian martyrs.”
