Sirens warning of incoming fire were activated in the northern Israeli communities of Metula and Misgav Am at 05:35 after fresh launches were detected from Lebanon, according to Israeli media reports. The alerts follow an earlier warning by the Home Front Command at 05:32 that covered the same area. No immediate reports of casualties or damage.
A second wave of sirens activated in Metula and Misgav Am at 05:35, following fresh launches from Lebanon detected minutes earlier. The alerts come after the Home Front Command issued a flash warning at 05:32—first reported by The Zioneer at that same time—identifying launches likely to trigger alerts in dozens of communities from Kiryat Shmona and Metula east to Kfar Blum and Sha'ar Yashuv. This is the second siren activation in the area this morning, both targeting the same border communities.
As The Zioneer reported at 05:32, an initial alert had already sounded in Metula and Misgav Am at that time, marking the start of this morning's exchange. The flash warning from the Home Front Command preceded the actual sirens, urging residents to enter protected spaces. The sequence of events — a command warning followed by two siren waves in three minutes — is consistent with Hezbollah's pattern of salvos from southern Lebanon, as documented in The Zioneer's reporting over recent weeks, including interceptions reported on June 3 and June 10.
The Upper Galilee has seen repeated alerts this month, with past incidents including drone infiltrations (June 7, 07:56 Jerusalem) and rocket fire intercepted over Kiryat Shmona and Misgav Am (June 3, 17:36 Jerusalem). Hezbollah's ongoing attacks from southern Lebanon continue to target Israeli border communities, as The Zioneer has reported daily.
No interceptions have been reported during either of this morning's siren waves, and casualty figures remain unconfirmed. The IDF has not yet issued a statement on the specific launches.
