Rocket sirens blare in Israel overnight
The Times of Israel is reporting that residents were told to take shelter in communities between the Lebanese border and the Nazareth areas of northern Israel as sirens warning of incoming rockets were heard just before 3:30am local time [00:30 GMT].
In a separate incident, sirens sounded in Israel’s Arava region and the southern Negev after midnight local time when a drone was intercepted over the Mediterranean Sea before it crossed into Israeli airspace, the Israeli army said in a post on X.

Hezbollah says video shows fire engulf Israeli tank after attack
Hezbollah has released a video clip of what it says is an Israeli tank on fire after being attacked by its fighters.
The Lebanese group did not say where or when the attack on the tank had taken place. A short video clip shared online showed a nighttime shot of a bright glow from an intense fire on what appeared to be a distant hilltop.
Earlier, the group said it had fired a rocket barrage at the northern Israeli city of Safad and launched a Nasr 1 missile – which has been described as a guided surface-to-surface missile – at an Israeli military barracks to the east of the central Israeli coast city of Netanya.
