Rocket sirens sounded in the Galilee and Golan Heights on Saturday evening, hours after Hezbollah and the IDF exchanged fire along the Lebanese border as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continued to escalate.
At least one rocket was intercepted after being fired from Syria toward the Golan Heights on Saturday evening, according to initial reports. Shortly after the rocket fire, the IDF launched artillery strikes on the source of the fire, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
On Saturday morning, the IDF thwarted an attempt by a Palestinian terrorist cell directed by Hezbollah to infiltrate into Israeli territory.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit stated that an IDF drone struck the terrorist cell, killing a number of terrorists.
In the afternoon, Hezbollah fired about 30 mortars at IDF sites in the Har Dov (Shebaa Farms) area, with the IDF responding with artillery fire toward the source of the fire and additional sites. Simultaneously, the IDF struck a terrorist cell that attempted to fire an anti-tank missile at Israeli territory.
Hezbollah stated that it fired toward an additional IDF site in the Shebaa Farms area later in the afternoon as the exchange of fire between the IDF and the terrorist movement continued.
During the clashes, a Hezbollah terrorist identified as Ali Youssef Alaa Al-Din “Jawad Ali” was killed, Hezbollah announced on Saturday.
