Rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israeli territory this evening, less than two hours after Israel's expanded cabinet authorized automatic strikes on Beirut for any cross-border launch. The IDF says it intercepted the incoming rockets. No injuries or damage have been reported.
Less than two hours after Israel's expanded security cabinet approved an automatic strike on Beirut for any cross-border launch from Lebanon — a decision The Zioneer reported earlier this evening — rockets were fired toward Israeli territory. The IDF Spokesperson confirmed the interceptions. As of now, there are no reports of casualties or property damage. The source of the fire and its precise impact points remain under assessment. The cabinet's new policy, approved at 20:45 Jerusalem, removed the need for additional political authorization to strike Beirut in response to any launch from Lebanon that crosses into Israel. Tonight's salvo is the first test of that policy since it was enacted. No further details are available on the number of rockets launched or whether the IDF has carried out a retaliatory strike.
