Several rockets were fired from southern Lebanon on Thursday afternoon with at least one intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system over northern Israel, the military said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the launches came just hours after Lebanon’s Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah said it would support “all measures” Palestinian groups may take against Israel after clashes at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Incoming rocket sirens sounded in the towns of Betzet and Shlomi in the Western Galilee close to the border with Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces said one rocket was identified and intercepted by the Iron Dome.

Security cabinet to convene over rocket barrages from Lebanon

Targeted air strikes by the IDF in 3, 2, 1...
It’s getting to the point where now the spark for a global conflaguration could come from anywhere.
According to initial assessments cited by the Kan public broadcaster, some 30 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon at the Western and Upper Galilee in northern Israel earlier.
The network says at least five landed in Israeli territory, some causing injuries and damage.
The rest were downed by the Iron Dome air defense system
It is a big deal.
Likely just muscle flexing, but a two, possibly three front war is possible. The Big Satan will advise the little one to ignore it, just palestinians doing what they do.
Israel better stop being the bully now that their American daddies are toast in the Middle East. They will need to look east and play by their new order. Being neocon bitches ain’t going to work anymore.
They see the absolute weakness of the woke Veggie’s POS sick evil military generals and his administration….we are screwed…ROYALLY! God help us cause no one else will. We are ruled by the .1%.
A source close to the Hezbollah terror group tells the Saudi-funded al-Arabiya network that it is not involved in the rocket attacks on northern Israel earlier.
“We have nothing to do with the rocket fire,” the source says.
Other sources suggest to al-Arabiya that “Palestinian factions” are behind the rocket fire.
It would be a shame if a stray rocket or two from the north scraped Al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock from the Temple Mount. However that might happen.
Ramadan versus passover.
