The IDF said that about five rockets were fired from Lebanon, some of which were intercepted. The military added that "fallen projectiles were identified."

The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported no immediate injuries or damages from the rocket impacts. However, some people sustained injuries while rushing to shelters, and others were treated for shock.
Shortly later, Magen David Adom reported that a 70-year-old woman was moderately injured after being struck by a motorcycle while running for cover during a rocket alert in Kfar Saba. The motorcyclist sustained minor injuries. Both were transported to the central city's Meir Medical Center.
Meanwhile, the military reported that a hostile aircraft from Lebanon had been identified entering Israeli airspace and exploding in an open field in the Upper Galilee. The aircraft activated alerts earlier in Kiryat Shmona and its surroundings. No injuries were reported.
Additionally, one rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip but did not cross into Israeli territory. As a result, an alert was triggered at the Nir Am shooting range near the border.
Additional rocket and missile alert sirens sounded in Avivim, Biranit and Bar'am in the Upper Galilee.
