Strike on central Israel wounds 19
The Israeli army said on Telegram that it had intercepted some of the three projectiles fired from Lebanon.
Tira, a predominantly Arab town, is located around 25km northeast of Tel Aviv, near the border with the occupied West Bank.
The war raging in the Gaza Strip has spread to Lebanon, where Israel has been carrying out air strikes against Hezbollah, an ally of Palestinian militant group Hamas.
According to Israeli figures, at least 63 people have been killed on the Israeli side since cross-border exchanges with Hezbollah erupted following Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel on Oct 7, 2023.
On Thursday, rocket fire from Lebanon killed seven people in Metula, northern Israel, including four Thai farmers.
Hamas’ October attack on Israel resulted in 1,206 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
Israel’s response has killed 43,259 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry, which are considered reliable by the United Nations.
