Following sirens activated in the Western Galilee, 35 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory, the military stated on Monday. 

Some of the projectiles were intercepted, while several others fell in the area of the Western Galilee. The IDF said that a projectile fell in an open area in the vicinity of Haifa, but no sirens sounded according to protocol.

The projectiles that fell in open areas sparked fires near Gesher Haziv, Kabri, and Neve Ziv. Firefighting teams worked to extinguish the fires, and no casualties were reported.
