Approximately three rockets were launched toward the northern border communities of Metula and Misgav Am, Channel 12 reports citing military correspondent Guy Varon. The Home Front Command subsequently declared the security incident in the Galilee Finger over, allowing residents to leave protected spaces.
At 08:45 Jerusalem, approximately three rockets were fired from Lebanon toward the northern 'Finger of the Galilee' area, landing in Metula (one projectile) and Misgav Am (two projectiles), according to military correspondent Guy Varon (Channel 12). The Home Front Command declared the incident over at 08:44, minutes after the first red alert siren sounded in Misgav Am at 08:34, permitting residents to leave protected spaces. No reports of injuries or damage have emerged so far.
This morning's barrage follows a pattern of intermittent launches from southern Lebanon in recent days. In a similar incident earlier today at 05:44, sirens were triggered in the same area by short-range fire that did not cross into Israeli territory, as The Zioneer reported. Over the past week, the Galilee Finger has seen multiple alerts — including suspected drone infiltrations on June 11 (09:01) and June 12 (04:51) — with the IDF often confirming the incidents were under investigation and the Home Front Command subsequently lifting shelter orders.
No immediate claim of responsibility has been reported, and the IDF has not released further details on the source of the launches. As of 08:46, the Home Front Command has confirmed the incident is over, and residents have returned to routine activity.
