Israeli army fires into Lebanon after rocket attacks
Israel struck Lebanon with artillery fire Tuesday morning in response to earlier rocket attacks, the Israeli army said.
"2 rockets were fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel. 1 of the rockets was intercepted by the Iron Dome Aerial Defense System & the second rocket fell in an open area inside Israel," the Israel Defence Forces said in a tweet.
In response, it said, IDF artillery had struck Lebanon.
The last time rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel was in May, during an 11-day conflict fought between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip.
