The Israel Defense Forces on Friday struck a terror cell operating in Southern Lebanon after Hezbollah resumed attacks on northern Israel.

Several rockets were fired from Lebanon at military posts along the border near Rosh Hanikra and Margaliot, according to the military.

The Iron Dome aerial-defense system intercepted two rockets launched at Kiryat Shmona, added the IDF.

The military responded with artillery shelling towards the source of the fire.

Earlier, Iron Dome intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon. The interceptor missile triggered sirens in several communities in the Upper Galilee, according to the IDF.

On Tuesday, the military shelled targets in southern Lebanon, Reuters reported, citing Lebanese state media.

Israel has responded to multiple daily attacks from Hezbollah terrorists throughout the war against Hamas in Gaza, but the northern border was mostly quiet during the week-long ceasefire that ended on Friday.

“Our hope is that HHS will ensure that if APA is going to continue to be a recipient of federal funds, that it comes into compliance with its obligations under the federal civil rights law,” Rebecca Harris of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
“This is a victory of vision, perseverance and Zionism, and another step on the path to the development of Samaria and a million residents,” said Samaria Regional Council Chairman Yossi Dagan.
Natalie Poulson told JNS that Democratic candidate Luc Jasmin III’s comments are “discrediting” and pointed to an increase in antisemitic incidents of Jew-hatred in the state.
The European Commission is reportedly preparing options after member states failed to reach consensus on broader sanctions against Israel.
Two Israelis were also detained in overnight raids.
The terrorists were eliminated in weekend airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
