40 rockets fired from Lebanon to northern Israel: Military
Lebanon attack
Air raid sirens warned residents of northern Israeli cities on Thursday (June 14) as rockets were launched from Lebanon.
State broadcaster Kan aired footage of numerous mid-air interceptions of rockets above Israeli towns, including in Safed, some 12 km from the border.
Two people were injured by shrapnel, Israel’s national ambulance service said, and several wildfires were set off by rockets that landed in open areas. Numerous launches were successfully intercepted, according to the military.
The army further added radar also picked up five potential drone threats, and defense systems successfully neutralised three of them.
Notably, Iran-backed Hezbollah opened a second war front against Israel shortly after Hamas’ October 7 assault on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza. Since then the Israel-Lebanon border has seen increasing attacks in both directions.

The violence rose sharply this week after Hezbollah launched a larger rocket attack in response to an Israeli airstrike that killed one of its senior field commanders.
The US on Thursday expressed concern that fighting along the Israel-Lebanon border could spiral into a full-out war.
Hezbollah attacked 9 Israeli military sites with rockets, drones
Lebanon's Hezbollah announced that it had launched rockets and weaponised drones at nine Israeli military sites in a coordinated attack, ramping up hostilities on Lebanon's southern border for the second consecutive day.
The attacks were in retaliation for an Israeli strike on Tuesday (June 11) that killed a senior Hezbollah field commander.

Hezbollah's statement said it had also launched attack drones at the headquarters of Israel's northern command, an intelligence headquarters and a military barracks.
A security source told Reuters that involved firing at least 30 attack drones at once, making it the group's largest drone attack to date in the eight-month-old war.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel have been trading fire since the eruption of the Gaza war in October, but the last two days have seen a sharp rise following the Israeli strike that killed the Hezbollah commander.
The group said Thursday's attack was in response to the killing. It had already carried out at least eight attacks on Wednesday in retaliation.
