Multiple rocket impact sites on a mountainside near Meron
Heavy consecutive rocket barrages were fired from southern Lebanon toward around a dozen Upper Galilee communities in northern Israel Sunday morning.
Rocket warning signs were activated in Meron, Bar Yochai, Merom Galil Regional Center, Kfar Shamai, Jish - Gush Halav, Tzivon, Bar'am, Safsufa - Kfar Hoshen, Or HaGanuz, Kerem Ben Zimra and Dovev.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it fired "dozens of Katyusha rockets... in response to the Israeli attacks on southern villages and civilian homes in southern Lebanon," citing an attack on a house in Khirbet Selm that, according to the terrorist group, resulted in a family's death on Saturday night.
Al Jazeera reported that at least 36 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon in one of the barrages "toward Israeli military outposts."
