Dozens of interceptions were carried out above the northern border town of Metula, according to the source, against a backdrop of local reports questioning the status of the ceasefire. The IDF said earlier this week that the ceasefire with Lebanon was in effect, but residents and local leaders say cross-border fire continues.
Dozens of interceptor missiles were activated in the airspace above Metula on Wednesday evening, according to a single unverified report, as questions persist over the status of the ceasefire with Lebanon.
The IDF has formally stated that the ceasefire is in effect, but repeated interceptions — including a series of 12 launches on Saturday morning, as The Zioneer reported — have drawn sharp criticism from Metula council head David Azoulai, who has accused the government of failing to protect border communities.
No details on the source of the incoming fire, casualties, or whether the interceptions were successful are available. The Home Front Command has not issued an official alert.
