Hezbollah said it launched a salvo of rockets at a northern Israeli town early Sunday in retaliation for an attack that Lebanon's health ministry said had killed three civil defense workers and injured two others in south Lebanon.
"In response to the enemy attacks ... and particularly the attack" that killed emergency workers in south Lebanon's Froun on Saturday, Hezbollah fighters "bombed ... Kiryat Shmona with a volley of Falaq rockets," the group said in a statement.
Media reports said Lebanese civil defense personnel were trying to extinguish a fire caused by a previous Israeli airstrike when they were hit.
A local Israeli authority later stated that some of Hezbollah's rockets were intercepted, and one landed in an uninhabited area without causing any injuries or significant damage.
Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on October 8, 2023, following a barrage of rockets launched by Hezbollah towards Israel in support of Hamas's attack the day before. In response, Israel retaliated with heavy artillery targeting southeastern Lebanon.
