Dozens of rockets fired from Lebanon toward Israel in one of largest attacks since war's start

About 65 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces said, marking one of the largest rocket barrages from Lebanon since the start of the Mideast war.

While it is unclear who is responsible for the latest attack, earlier in the day, the terrorist group Hezbollah fired another 20 rockets at Kiryat Shmona, a city in northern Israel, according to the Times of Israel.

Meanwhile, the IDF said that at least 10 projectiles were fired Sunday by Hamas in Gaza, reportedly from the Rafah area, toward the Kerem Shalom area, where a border crossing into Israel is located. 

There are no reports of injuries in the Lebanon attack, but at least seven people were reported injured from the Hamas barrage.

The attacks come as Israel is in the middle of ceasefire negotiations with Hamas while a potential invasion of Rafah looms.

“The launches carried out by Hamas adjacent to the Rafah Crossing ... are a clear example of the terrorist organisation's systematic exploitation of humanitarian facilities and spaces, and their continued use of the Gazan civilian population as human shields," the Israeli military said.

Hamas armed wing took credit for the Kerem Shalom attack, saying it fired rockets at an Israeli army base by the crossing.
