Multiple projectiles launched from Lebanon into Israel, IDF says

 Approximately eight projectiles have been launched from Lebanon into Israel on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

The projectiles fell in open areas near the city of Tiberias, which is in the north of the country.

Thousands of Israelis evacuated from communities close to the Lebanese border to Tiberias last year, swelling the city’s population by 20%.

Exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah have occurred consistently since October 8, the day after Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel. Hezbollah first fired at Israel to protest the war in Gaza, demanding a ceasefire there as a condition to end its attacks.

The situation has ramped up since last week, when Israel wounded thousands of people across Lebanon by detonating pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members, followed by a ferocious bombing campaign that has left hundreds dead.
