The Israeli army on Wednesday reported detecting approximately 50 rockets fired from Lebanon toward the occupied Syrian Golan Heights in northern Israel.
The army said it intercepted some of the rockets, while others landed near the Israeli town of Katzrin in the Golan Heights, leaving at least one Israeli moderately injured.
Israeli media published scenes of a home set on fire as a result of the rocket attack.
Incoming rocket sirens were activated in several Israeli towns and settlements near the border with Lebanon.
The Israeli army stated that it struck what it claimed was a "Hezbollah operative" in the village of Beit Lif in southern Lebanon, as well as other Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa area of eastern Lebanon.
Commenting on the Hezbollah attacks on Katzrin, opposition leader Yair Lapid said on X: "The [Israeli] government lost the north."
Fears of a full-fledged war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah group have grown amid an exchange of cross-border attacks, particularly after the July 30 assassination of senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr in Beirut.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which has killed over 40,170 people since last October following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
