Israel's military says a rocket launched by Hezbollah struck near the northern community of Neot Mordechai a short while ago, and additional rocket impacts were recorded near IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon. Several apparent Hezbollah drones also struck Israeli territory near the border, the IDF adds. No casualties have been reported so far.
At approximately 19:48 Jerusalem, the IDF confirmed a third wave of Hezbollah fire from southern Lebanon within roughly an hour. Rockets impacted near the community of Neot Mordechai and close to Israeli troops operating inside southern Lebanon. Multiple Hezbollah drones also struck Israeli territory near the border. No casualties have been reported. This follows an earlier barrage at 19:33 Jerusalem, when rockets hit near Kiryat Shmona and Moshav Menara, as The Zioneer reported; that wave saw one fall inside Israeli territory and partial interceptions. The first reports of the evening, published at 18:31 Jerusalem, described multiple suspicious aerial targets falling in Israeli territory near the Lebanese border with no casualties. Across the thread, corroboration has shifted from an initial IDF statement about unspecified aerial targets to a detailed account of ground impacts and drone strikes in three distinct zones. The IDF has not specified interception attempts in this latest wave or the scale of the drone infiltration. Hezbollah has not formally claimed responsibility for the evening's fire. As The Zioneer has reported over recent weeks, the military continues to operate in southern Lebanon under a UN-monitored ceasefire framework that remains fragile, with near-daily but often limited cross-border exchanges. What remains open: whether any rockets or drones were intercepted, and the full extent of the drone penetration into Israeli territory.
