STORYLINE:
A widow kneeled next to her husband’s grave as sirens wailed following rockets launched from Lebanon into northern Israel Monday.

The mourners, attending the funeral of Alexei Poupov who was killed by rockets, were seen taking cover behind gravestones as loud explosions and interceptions followed.

Poupov was killed Saturday in Acre, northern Israel, after a rocket attack fired from Lebanon.

Israeli forces invaded southern Lebanon at the beginning of the month and have been operating in a narrow strip along the border.

Israeli airstrikes have pounded large areas of the country, targeting what Israel says are Hezbollah sites.

The militant group has fired thousands of rockets, missiles and drones into Israel since Oct. 8, 2023, the day after its ally Hamas launched a surprise attack into Israel, triggering the war in Gaza.
