IDF Says About 45 Missiles, Drones, Fired From Lebanon Starting Fires, Injuring Two
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday that it had detected at least 45 launches from Lebanon, with some of the projectiles falling in open areas and starting fires.
About 30 projectiles were fired toward the Golan Heights, 10 toward the western Galilee area and five toward the Upper Galilee area, the IDF said on Telegram.
"Some of the projectiles were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array and the rest fell in open areas. Israeli Fire and Rescue services are currently operating to extinguish several fires that broke out in the area as a result of the launches," the Israeli army added.
While the IDF originally stated that no injuries had been reported, later it said that two IDF soldiers were
lightly and moderately wounded in a subsequent drone attack from Lebanon.
Lebanese movement Hezbollah said it had for the first time targeted kibbutz Dafna in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. The attack was made in response to an Israeli strike on the Borj El Mlouk locality in southern Lebanon.
