Israeli Military Intercepts Rockets From Lebanon, Minimal Damage Reported

Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepts rockets launched from the Gaza Strip, as seen from Ashkelon, in southern Israel

On a recent morning, the Israeli military reported nearly two dozen projectiles crossing into Israeli territory from Lebanon. This incident occurred after sirens sounded in the northern city of Haifa and the Galilee region. Video footage captured rockets being intercepted by Israel's defense systems over the Haifa skyline at sunrise.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that around 20 projectiles were identified following the sirens between 7:01 a.m. and 7:04 a.m. local time in the Haifa Bay and Western Galilee areas. Fortunately, most of the projectiles were intercepted, with the remaining ones falling in open areas. Some interception shrapnel landed in Kiryat Yam, causing property damage but no reported injuries.
