Fires break out in Israel after drones cross from Lebanon
The Israeli military says it fired interceptor missiles at several drones that crossed from Lebanon but failed to down them.
Several fires were sparked as a result of shrapnel from the interceptor missiles, the army said on X.
It added that missile and rocket fire alerts were activated as a precautionary measure.
Wildfires on both sides of the Lebanon-Israel border have raged throughout this summer’s dry season, a result of the exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army.
Several attacks reported in southern Lebanon
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) has reported several Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon.
