The Israeli military says over 100 rockets have been fired into the country from Lebanon, with some landing near the northern city of Haifa. Israeli first responders say the early morning barrage on Sunday wounded at least three people near Haifa, damaged buildings and set cars on fire. The barrage came after an Israeli airstrike in Beirut killed at least 37 people, including one of the Lebanese militant group’s senior leaders as well as women and children. The militants were already reeling from a sophisticated attack using thousands of explosive personal devices just days earlier.

Israel said rockets had been fired towards civilian areas.

Israeli military reports over 100 projectiles fired from Lebanon, causing fires in Israel's north

Lebanon's Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli military sites following last week's pager and walkie-talkie attacks.

Hezbollah on Saturday launched a series of rocket attacks from Lebanon into northern Israel, marking one of the most intense cross-border confrontations since the war began in October.

Hezbollah has launched over 100 rockets across a wider and deeper area of northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa, as the sides appeared to be spiraling toward all-out war following months of escalating tensions.

The Ramat David site is among the deepest inside Israeli territory that Hezbollah has targeted in a year of cross-border exchanges.

Israel closed schools and restricted gatherings in many northern areas of the country and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights early on Sunday.

Israel said it struck around 290 targets, including thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels. Hezbollah, however, claimed that it struck an Israeli airbase due to "repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon".
