The Telegraph:  The military wing of Palestinian group Hamas said it fired a volley of rockets towards northern Israel from south Lebanon.

Hamas’s armed wing the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement it targeted two Israeli military sites with two barrages of “Grad rockets”, a Soviet-era multiple rocket launch system.

The attack from south Lebanon came in “response to Zionist massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip and the assassination of martyred leaders and their brothers in the southern suburbs” of Beirut, the statement added.

The Israeli military said in a statement that “approximately 10 launches which crossed from Lebanon into northern Israel were identified”, adding that sirens had sounded in north Israel’s Kiryat Shmona area.

Air defences “successfully intercepted a number of the launches,” the statement said, adding that the army “struck the sources of the fire in Lebanon”.

Israeli police reported property damage in the Kiryat Shmona area but no wounded.

Last year, the Israeli military said some Hamas fighters were operating out of southern Lebanon.
