Israel retaliated after rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel for the first time in months. Israel said the airstrikes targeted sites linked to Hezbollah.

The Israeli air force has carried out airstrikes on what it said were Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon after rockets were fired over the border, a significant flare-up in tensions after a ceasefire brought uneasy calm to the region.

Gaza Israel carried out several attacks on southern Lebanon after announcing it had intercepted three rockets fired towards the border town of Metula on Saturday morning, raising fears of a renewal of cross-border conflict that ended with a ceasefire in November.
