WASHINGTON – Israeli media reported on Saturday that that over 100 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards northern Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, prompted the Israeli army to advise civilians in the region to stay close to bomb shelters.

Israeli news reported a direct hit on a building at a dairy farm in Kibbutz Ortal, located in the northern Golan Regional Council, an Israeli settlement in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

A power outage also occurred in Safed in Israel’s Northern District due to the barrage, Israeli media reported.

Sirens warning of rocket fire were activated in Safed, several nearby towns around the Sea of Galilee, and in Ortal in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Social media posts showed multiple interceptions by the Iron Dome defence system during what appeared to be a significant rocket attack from Hezbollah.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah sharply escalated on Thursday, with both sides exchanging deadly attacks and vowing further retaliation after explosions from pagers and handheld radios across Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday resulted in 37 fatalities and left 2,931 individuals injured.

Hezbollah attributed the explosions to Israel, while Israeli officials have not commented on the incident.
