Israel reports drone, rocket attacks from Lebanon, Iraq, Syria
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army said Tuesday that rocket and drone attacks on its areas were launched from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
A military statement said warplanes intercepted a drone and two rockets fired from Lebanese territory, which triggered sirens in Metula and Kfar Giladi settlements in northern Israel.
The army said a combat drone was also shot down after entering Israeli airspace from Syria.
The army said another drone was intercepted from the east, a term used by the Israeli military to describe attacks from Iraq. The drone caused sirens to sound in the Masada area, south of the Dead Sea region.
Regional tensions have escalated due to Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 43,400 people, mostly women and children, since October last year.
Israel recently expanded the war to Lebanon launching deadly strikes across the country, killing over 3,000 people and injuring more than 13,000 others, according to Lebanese health authorities.
Going against global censure and emboldened by support from the US, Israel launched an invasion of southern Lebanon on October 1.
