PARIS - Air raid sirens sounded across cities in northern Israel on Thursday and about 40 rockets had been fired from Lebanon in the afternoon, Israel’s military said.
State broadcaster Kan aired footage of numerous mid-air interceptions of rockets above Israeli towns, including in Safed, some 12 km (7.5 miles) from the border.
Two people were wounded by shrapnel, Israel’s national ambulance service said, and a number of wildfires were set off by rockets that landed in open areas.
“Numerous launches were successfully intercepted”, the military said.
It added that five “suspicious aerial targets”, an apparent reference to drones, were also identified, three of which were intercepted.
