Israel: Sirens in northern Israel due to Hezbollah rockets fired at IDF troops
Sirens sounded in northern Israel on Thursday after Hezbollah launched several rockets toward IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military said, according to a Reuters alert.
The IDF did not immediately say whether the rockets were intercepted, caused damage or resulted in casualties.
The alert came after sirens earlier sounded in the northern Israeli area of Hanita over a suspected hostile aircraft infiltration. The IDF did not immediately provide further details on whether an aircraft or drone had entered Israeli airspace.

The plan would require the Iran-backed group to stop firing and evacuate fighters from areas of southern Lebanon near the border.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem dismissed the agreement as “a roadmap for the annihilation of a section of the Lebanese people and the enslavement of the rest,” adding: “As long as the occupation exists, the resistance will continue.”
