Hezbollah fired some 30 rockets from Lebanon at the Nahariya area and surrounding communities of the Western Galilee overnight Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Many of the rockets struck open areas, causing a fire near Moshav Avdon. An Iron Dome interceptor hit the roof of a house in Avdon, causing damage, Ynet reported. No air-raid siren was activated there.
There were no injuries reported from the barrage.
Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that the target was an IDF position near Kibbutz Ga’aton and that it was in response to an Israeli attack on Sunday in Marov in Southern Lebanon.
The IDF attacked the source of the Hezbollah rocket launches.
Israel’s Army Radio reported on Monday morning that two anti-tank missiles fired from Lebanon hit the Metula area in the Eastern Galilee, with no casualties reported. The launches did not trigger any alerts.

Lebanese newspaper Al Joumhouria, affiliated with Hezbollah’s opposition, reported on Monday that there are indications that the terrorist group is evacuating its headquarters in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood. According to the report, this means that Hezbollah will attack Israel and is “preparing for the worst, in case of an Israeli response.”
