Rockets launched at Israel from Lebanon, Gaza
One rocket was fired from Lebanon yesterday and two rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip Friday night.
The IDF fired dozens of artillery shells toward targets in southern Lebanon after a rocket was fired into northern Israel yesterday, near the border town of Shlomi.
IDF spokesperson Brig. Gen. Ran Kohav tweeted, “Reacting to a rocket fired tonight from Lebanon, our artillery fighters struck back with dozens of artillery shells in order to make it clear to those on the other side that we do not intend to accept any violation of Israeli sovereignty."
He went on, "We have a variety of tools to respond, and there is no intention to allow for such fire to continue. We are not going to allow even a single rocket. We will continue to respond as necessary.”
Kohav said that there is no change in the alert level along the northern border, adding, “We have all the intention that Remembrance Day and Independence Day will pass quietly. It is our job to protect the State of Israel and we will continue to do so.”
