While the Israeli army is once again attacking Hezbollah militia targets in Lebanon, there has also been renewed rocket fire from the neighboring country in Israel. In the morning, a surface-to-surface missile fell in an open area in central Israel, the army announced. There was therefore no rocket alert. According to Israeli media, the missile hit the sea.

A loud explosion was heard in the center of the coastal city of Tel Aviv.

In many places in the north of Israel and in the West Bank, the army reportedly sounded sirens following shelling from Lebanon. Most of the shells were intercepted.

During the night, Israel's army again carried out attacks in the area of the capital Beirut and in southern Lebanon. In the morning, there were also bombardments of targets in the east and south of the country as well as in a mountainous area north of Beirut, according to Lebanese security sources.
