Approximately three launches were reported toward the northern border communities of Metula and Misgav Am in the Galilee Finger, according to Channel 12 military correspondent Guy Varon. The Home Front Command has since declared the incident over, allowing residents to leave protected spaces. One rocket was fired at Metula and two toward Misgav Am, with no immediate reports of casualties or interceptions.
At 08:50 Jerusalem, sirens sounded in Metula and Misgav Am in the Galilee Finger. Channel 12 military correspondent Guy Varon reported approximately three launches — one toward Metula and two toward Misgav Am. By 08:44 Jerusalem, the Home Front Command had declared the incident over and cleared residents from protected spaces, as The Zioneer reported at 08:35 Jerusalem. No intercepts or casualties have been reported.
This is the second incident to hit these communities in under an hour. As The Zioneer reported at 08:35 and 08:46 Jerusalem, a first barrage of three rockets targeted Metula and Misgav Am shortly before 08:35 Jerusalem; the Home Front Command declared that incident over at 08:44 Jerusalem. The current wave appears smaller in scale but follows the same pattern of fire from southern Lebanon. Across the thread, initial reports cited only Channel 12's military correspondent; by the second incident, the same source remained the sole named outlet, with the Home Front Command's formal all-clear providing official corroboration of the event's end.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11, the Home Front Command had lifted shelter orders for 30 Upper Galilee communities after an earlier security event, and IDF weekly summaries since early June have documented hundreds of strikes in southern Lebanon. The Galilee Finger has experienced repeated alerts amid ongoing hostilities along the Lebanon border.
No group has claimed responsibility for either barrage. It remains unclear whether the rockets struck open areas or were false alarms; no reports of damage or injuries have surfaced. The Israeli military has not issued a statement on the source or nature of the launches.
