STORYLINE:
Sirens wailed as smoke trails from rocket interceptions were seen in the sky over northern Israel on Monday after projectiles were launched from Lebanon.
Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue services said two vehicles were on fire in the area of Haifa.
The rescue services also said they were "treating a 17-year-old fully conscious male, in mild condition following an injury from glass shrapnel sustained while seeking shelter."
Earlier, Israel’s new foreign minister said there has been "certain progress" in efforts to end the fighting with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
But a spokesman for the militant group said on Monday it had not received any official proposal and was prepared to wage a long war if needed.
The Biden administration has spent months trying to broker a cease-fire, and there were reports that U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein might return to the region in the coming days.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said any agreement would have to include enforcement mechanisms to prevent Hezbollah from reconstituting its military infrastructure near the border.
Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel, and drawing retaliatory strikes, the day after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack out of Gaza ignited the war there.
All-out war erupted in September, when Israel carried out a wave of heavy airstrikes and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and most of his top commanders..
Lebanon’s Health Ministry says at least 3,189 people have been killed and over 14,000 wounded in Lebanon in more than a year of conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group.
Some 1.2 million people have been displaced.
On the Israeli side, 68 soldiers and 41 civilians have been killed in the fighting since October 2023, according to the prime minister’s office.
More than 60,000 people have been displaced from their homes.
