A rocket barrage from Lebanon struck areas near Kiryat Shmona and Moshav Menara this evening, the first such fire toward Israel in a week. One rocket fell inside Israeli territory; others landed near IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon and were partially intercepted. No casualties were reported, according to N12's military correspondent.
This evening's rocket barrage from Lebanon is the first direct rocket fire into Israeli territory in a week, after a period of relative calm on the northern border. Guy Varon, N12's military correspondent, reported that at least one rocket impacted within Israeli soil near Kiryat Shmona and Moshav Menara, while other launches fell in areas of southern Lebanon where IDF troops are positioned. Some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses. The IDF has not yet issued an official statement on this specific incident. The barrage follows a pattern of sporadic launches and aerial intrusions from Lebanon over recent days, most of which fell short of Israeli territory or were intercepted. The Zioneer has previously covered several similar incidents — including launches falling near IDF forces in southern Lebanon on June 6, 8, and 11 — but this is the first instance in which rockets have clearly landed on Israeli soil in a week. There were no immediate claims of responsibility, though Hezbollah has been the primary actor in cross-border fire since October 2023.
