Hezbollah violated the ceasefire on Thursday evening by firing several rockets toward the area of Shtula in the western Galilee.
All of the rockets were intercepted by air defense systems. No impacts were reported inside Israeli territory, and there were no casualties.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement, “Following the sirens that sounded in the area of Shtula a short while ago, several launches that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory were identified."
It added, “The Israeli Air Force intercepted the launches. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol."
The rocket fire by Hezbollah came as Israeli and Lebanese representatives met in Washington for a second round of talks.
Lebanon and Israel, formally at war since 1948, held an initial round of talks in Washington on April 14. Two days later, the US announced a ten-day truce in the conflict.
Despite the ceasefire, Hezbollah’s violations have continued, and Israel has retaliated by striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
The ceasefire framework published by the US State Department last week stipulates that Israel retains what it described as the right to self-defense against threats.
Hezbollah has criticized the decision to engage in direct negotiations, accusing the Lebanese government of making concessions without broad political or public consensus.
Lebanese officials have reiterated that decisions regarding war, peace, and negotiations rest solely with the state, stressing that the diplomatic track seeks to spare the country further suffering.
