Israel Air Force (IAF) jets attacked a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the area of Mis al-Jabal, southern Lebanon, the IDF announced on Sunday shortly after hostile aircraft intrusion alerts sounded across northern Israel, including in Nahariya and Acre around 3 p.m.
The Fire Brigade of Division 91 and the IAF collaborated to target the facility, also killing a terrorist at the facility. After the attack, secondary explosions sounded, indicating the presence of numerous weapons in the warehouse.
Several fires broke out in the Galilee during the afternoon strikes, according to the Fire and Rescue Authority. The IDF reported that these fires were the result of fifteen rockets landing in open areas. There were no casualties.
“Fire fighting teams from the Galilee-Golan Heights station are working on several sites of fires due to strikes from the last barrage. Additional teams are on their way to the location,” the Fire and Rescue Authority said in a statement shortly after the hostile aircraft intrusion alerts sounded.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack
Rockets were also fired toward the north of Israel at several communities in the Upper Galilee, including in Kiryat Shmona. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Hezbollah-affiliated al-Mayadeen.

Hezbollah later claimed to target the headquarters of the 210th Golani Brigade in the Golan Heights with Katyusha rockets, al-Mayadeen reported.
In the morning, a volley of rockets crossed from Lebanese territory into the area of Margaliot in the Upper Galilee. All rockets were intercepted.
IAF jets attacked the Hezbollah military structure in Houla from which the rockets to Margaliot were launched in response.
