The Israeli military said it also attacked an additional 110 locations in southern Lebanon in the past several hours.
The attacks targeted Hezbollah launchers and military infrastructure, the Israeli military claimed.

Hezbollah fired at least 10 missiles at northern towns and cities in the Jezreel Valley late Saturday night, marking the terror group’s deepest rocket fire into Israel since the beginning of the war in October, as Israel Defense Forces jets carried out a series of strikes in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...throughout the afternoon and evening.
The IDF said the majority of the 10 rockets fired from Lebanon were intercepted by air defenses, and that it was investigating at least one rocket impact in the area. One man in his 60s was very lightly injured by shrapnel following an interception, according to medics.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the barrage, claiming to have targeted the Israeli Air Force’s Ramat David Airbase, located some 50 kilometers from the Lebanon border.

The strikes came after several waves of attacks on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon earlier in the day, which the IDF said hit some 290 Hezbollah targets, including rocket launchers and other facilities.
In all, thousands of rocket launcher barrels were hit in the strikes, the IDF said, while vowing to continue striking Hezbollah to "dismantle and degrade" Hezbollah’s capabilities.
The latest Israel strikes came after fighter jets struck some 180 targets in southern Lebanon on Saturday afternoon, taking out thousands of rocket launcher barrels that were primed for imminent attacks on Israel, according to the IDF.
At the same time, officials issued new restrictions on residents of the Haifa area and northward as the country braced for the possibility of an imminent large-scale assault by the Lebanese terror group after it suffered heavy blows in multiple attacks in recent days.
Over the course of the day, the IDF struck more than 400 Hezbollah rocket launchers, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Saturday evening in a presser.
Some 100 rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel on Saturday, according to the IDF. Hezbollah grabbed credit for the attacks.
Hezbollah has named 502 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 79 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.
