A barrage of rockets was fired on Friday evening from Lebanon towards northern Israel, triggering sirens in Kiryat Shmona and the area shortly before 7:00 p.m. Several rockets hit the city of Kiryat Shmona, with one of them directly hitting a building and causing a fire. Two rockets also exploded in open areas in the vicinity of Shlomi. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said, “Over the last few hours, several projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon toward several areas in northern Israel. A number of the projectiles were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array.” “The IDF struck the sources of the launches and fired artillery toward several additional areas in southern Lebanon,” it added. As a result of the projectile attack toward Kiryat Shmona, two IDF soldiers were lightly injured and were evacuated to the hospital to receive medical treatment. Their families have been notified, said the statement. “A short while ago, IAF fighter jets struck a Hezbollah launch post in the area of Marwahin and an observation post in the area of Houla,” it concluded.
