The Upper Galilee was rocked by dozens of explosions during a late-morning rocket bombardment from Lebanon on Wednesday.

In this context, the Israeli Army announced that “65 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle at Kiryat Shmona, causing damage to at least one home.” The Israeli Army also revealed that “some rockets were intercepted and others hit open areas.”

Hezbollah later claimed credit for “shelling the artillery positions in Dishon and the headquarters of the Sahl Battalion in the Beit Hillel Baracks with Katyusha rockets.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli planes bombed Aita al-Shaab on Wednesday morning and have been flying at low altitude over Lebanese airspace in the area since dawn.

Overnight Tuesday, despite a cautious calm prevailing in the region, Israeli military aircraft and drones launched a series of raids on towns and villages in the border area, including Khiam, Aita al-Shaab, and the region between Yater and Zebqine. Two people were wounded following the attack on the village of Khiam and were transported to Marjayoun hospital.

Israel also carried out strikes against the village of Sawaneh, on the outskirts of Kfarchouba, where a fire broke out. In addition, artillery bombardment targeted the eastern area of the Shebaa region.
