The Israeli military announced Tuesday morning that it had detected “about 55 projectiles” fired by the Lebanon against the north Israel and the occupied Highlands of Golanafter Hezbollah announced that it had fired rockets at Israeli army positions.

“Some missiles were intercepted and others landed in unpopulated areas. There are no injuries,” the army said in a statement.

Earlier the Shiite Lebanese movement Hezbollah had pointed out that it fired several rockets at Israeli army positions in the Golan Heights “in response” to the strikes that yesterday, Monday, targeted areas of eastern Lebanon, far from the border with Israel.

Hezbollah said its fighters fired a “barrage of rockets” at two military positions in the Golan “in response to the Israeli army’s offensive in the Bekaa region.”

Yesterday, Monday night, the Israeli Air Force announced that it had hit Hezbollah ammunition depots in this area.

Today the Israeli military pointed out that it hit “one of the launchers” used today against “the Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights”.

After the missiles fell, fires broke out “in many areas in northern Israel” and firefighters are battling to put them out, according to the army.

Since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas on October 7, there have been almost daily hostilities between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which supports the Palestinian Islamist movement.

But concern about an expansion of the conflict in the region has intensified after an Israeli strike that killed a Hezbollah military official in its stronghold in a southern suburb of Beirut in late July and the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniya in Tehran, which also attributed to Israel. Iran and Hezbollah have warned they will respond.
