Following another day of heavy Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon with dozens of victims, the Iran-allied Hezbollah militia has fired an unusually large number of rockets at Israel.
According to the Israeli military, around 250 missiles had been fired by the evening.
An alert had been in place in many regions since Sunday, not only in the north of Israel, but also in the centre of the country and in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv.
According to the Magen David Adom rescue service, at least six people were injured. In Petach Tikwa, east of Tel Aviv, houses were damaged. Sirens were heard again there in the evening.
According to the latest update from the Health Ministry, around 84 people were killed and 213 injured in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon on Saturday.
The Hezbollah militia has been firing rockets at Israel since the beginning of the Gaza war more than a year ago. Israel has responded with massive airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon.
