Air raid sirens sounded Tuesday evening near communities along the Gaza border — an unusual development — as well as across northern and central Israel, following launches from Lebanon.
Alerts were activated in the Upper Galilee, including Metula, Manara, Kfar Yuval and Dovev, and in Kiryat Shmona and surrounding areas. Additional sirens were heard in the Sharon region and parts of the Shephelah.

Earlier, sirens were triggered in Kiryat Shmona due to what was described as a drone infiltration from Lebanon.
Interceptions were reported in the Sharon and Galilee regions, while some projectiles fell in open areas. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Separately, the IDF confirmed it killed Hassan Ali Marwan in Beirut overnight, identifying him as commander of Hezbollah’s Imam Hussein Division. Marwan had assumed the role six days earlier after his predecessor was killed.
According to the IDF, Marwan previously served as the division’s operations chief and was responsible for coordination with senior Hezbollah figures and Iran’s Quds Force. He also oversaw the launch of missiles, drones and rockets toward Israel and IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon.
