Warning sirens echoed throughout northern Israel on Monday after rockets were launched from Lebanese territory, according to Israeli military officials. This marks the first attack originating from Lebanon since the United States and Israel began conducting military operations against Iran.
A ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States in 2024 brought an end to the conflict between Israel and Lebanon, concluding over a year of combat with the Lebanese militant organization Hezbollah. The fighting had escalated to Israeli military operations that significantly damaged the Iranian-supported group. Both nations have since accused each other of breaking the truce terms.
Hezbollah has not yet responded to reports of Monday’s rocket launch from Lebanese soil.
The Shiite Muslim organization, which has served as one of Iran’s key regional partners in the Middle East, declared support for Iran on Saturday while remaining unclear about potential military involvement.
Israeli military officials later confirmed that defense systems successfully intercepted one rocket while additional projectiles landed in uninhabited regions.
Military representatives reported no casualties or property damage from the incident.
