The IDF intercepted four drones that had been launched at Israeli territory from both the east and from Lebanon, the military said on Monday. 

Two drones were reportedly intercepted within Israel, and two drones were intercepted outside of Israeli territory. 

Later, at 10:58 a.m., sirens sounded in Acre and further north in Rosh Hanikra and Shlomi, among other localities. 

Israel emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, stated that paramedics were en route to the area of reported rocket strikes. The service noted that no casualties had been reported.

Rockets launch from Lebanon

The IDF later reported that the sirens were sounded before a volley of around 30 rockets fired from Lebanese territory were either intercepted or crashed in open areas in the Upper Galilee.

The military also provided an update on an earlier incident, noting that after a separate barrage of a similar amount of rockets at 9:25 a.m., the IDF struck the launcher from which the attack had been fired.

During that incident, all of the rockets had also either been intercepted or crashed into open areas.

The IDF later said it had intercepted several suspicious aerial threats that had approached Israel from the east.
