No casualties were reported at both scenes of impact. 

According to Israeli media, some 105 rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Lebanon in the recent barrages.

Following the alerts, police issued a statement saying it had received reports of falling debris in various localities in the Golan Heights and Upper and Lower Galilee, where forces were operating at the scenes. 

No injuries were reported, but severe damage was caused to property, the police stated. 

A fire broke out in the Golan Heights area, which Fire and Rescue Authority firefighters were operating to extinguish. 

'Red line must not be Tel Aviv'

Also on Tuesday, National Unity leader Benny Gantz visited the Haifa area and its suburbs.

"Our red line must not be Tel Aviv. Just as in the South, our red line is Kerem Shalom and Sderot; in the North, our line is Metula, Shlomi, and Kiryat Shmona," Gantz said. 

He added that Israel would stop fighting only when the evacuees from the North would be able to return to their homes safely. 

This is a developing story.
