Hezbollah fires 30 rockets into northern Israel as border tensions flare

Iran-backed Hezbollah fired around 30 projectiles from Lebanon into Israel, the Israeli military said, reporting that some of the strikes caused damage, The Guardian reports.

Air-raid sirens were activated across northern Israel near the Lebanese border, where Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants have continued to exchange fire despite a truce in the broader conflict involving Iran.

Israeli emergency services reported a strike in Safed, where a direct hit damaged several vehicles.

The emergency services also reported additional impacts in the Galilee region, including in Baana and Deir al-Assad, where a building was hit.
