The US has updated its travel advisory to level 4, which urges all US citizens to depart Lebanon on commercial flights while they are still available, according to the US Embassy on Saturday night.

The warning comes amid "the unpredictable nature of ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel" and the recent IAF strikes in Beirut.

The US embassy said they may not be able to assist American citizens who choose to remain, and are unable to leave on commercial flights.

Similar advisories can be found on other foreign government websites, including France, the UK and Canada, all which advise against all travel and warn that their embassies may not be able to assist in the event of an emergency.

Sirens sounded across Northern Israel at around 01:10 am on Sunday morning, with alerts in and around Haifa, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee. 

The IDF announced soon after that ten launches were detected in the Jezreel Valley. Most were intercepted, but they announced that a fall was detected in the area.

According to KAN, a rocket fell in Nazareth, and a large fire broke out as a result of the strikes elsewhere in the city. MDA reported no casualties as a result of the strikes.

Hezbollah claimed the sirens were due to rockets fired by them from Lebanon.

Reports on social media and from Hezbollah say that sounds of explosions could be heard around Ramat David airbase near Haifa.

Al Hadath, a Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese outlet, reported that Hezbollah fired 100 rockets towards Haifa and the Upper Galilee, however the IDF claimed it was ten.

Home Front Command

The sirens sounded in areas where the Home Front Command were not updated on Saturday, when new restrictions were issued from Haifa and northward, limiting gatherings to 30 people outdoors and 300 indoors.

There were no changes southward of Haifa at this time, but the HFC said this could change at any time based on upcoming Hezbollah attacks.

These are the first alarms that have been activated in Afula for more than 9 months, according to Israeli media. 
The IDF spokesman said that the incident is being investigated.
This is a developing story.
