The latest alerts came shortly after additional sirens were activated in northern Israel, including the Galilee and the Golan Heights.
Earlier, the Israeli military said two soldiers from the 401st Brigade were moderately wounded by anti-tank fire in southern Lebanon. The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital for treatment and their families were notified, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Separate alerts were also issued in the Jordan Valley over suspected drone infiltration, including in several communities in the area.
In northern Israel earlier in the afternoon, two rockets were launched from Lebanon toward the Carmel and Haifa Bay region, the military said. One rocket was intercepted and the other fell in an open area. No injuries were reported.
The IDF also released footage showing a missile boat intercepting a drone launched from Lebanon. The military said naval forces have been participating in air defense efforts since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, identifying and intercepting unmanned aerial vehicles launched toward Israel.
