Tensions escalated in northern Israel as a series of rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, targeting various locations including Western Galilee and Mount Meron. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded by intercepting a suspicious aerial target and several rockets through the IDF Aerial Defense Array. Sirens were activated in multiple communities, and light damage was reported in the village of Julis due to fragments from the interception. A fire also broke out near Yarki following the rocket impacts. Israeli media reported that approximately 18 rockets hit Mount Meron, although there were no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage. This incident marks the first documented instance of Hamas' Qassam Brigades launching rockets from Lebanon into Israel, signaling a potential escalation in the region's security situation.
