STORYLINE:
Firefighters worked to extinguish a blaze in northern Israel on Monday, following an attack launched from inside Lebanon.
According to a military statement, "a suspicious aerial target" crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory and "fell in an open area in the Upper Galilee Area."
No injuries were reported and Israeli fire and rescue services continue to operate at the scene, the military said.
Hezbollah began firing rockets and drones into northern Israel after the outbreak of the war in Gaza, which was ignited by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. Both armed groups are allied with Iran, and Hezbollah says it is acting in solidarity with the Palestinians.
Israel has responded to the attacks with airstrikes and the targeted killing of Hezbollah commanders.
It has threatened a wider operation, raising fears of another all-out war.
Hezbollah has said it will halt its attacks if there is a cease-fire in Gaza, but months of talks brokered by the United States, Qatar and Egypt have repeatedly stalled.
Hamas has demanded a lasting cease-fire and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza as part of any agreement to release the scores of hostages it still holds from the Oct. 7 attack.
Israel’s defense minister has told his U.S. counterpart that time is running out for an agreement with Hezbollah to halt the fighting along the Israel-Lebanon border.
More than 500 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since Oct. 8, most of them fighters with Hezbollah and other armed groups but also more than 100 civilians.
In northern Israel, 23 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed by strikes from Lebanon.
