More rocket launches

Later on Friday, more rocket launches were detected from Lebanon toward the Golan Heights.

IDF air defenses intercepted numerous launches, with the rest landing in open areas.

Sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona as a result of the launches, leading the IDF to strike launchers used to fire on Israel in the area of Al-Daba in southern Lebanon.

The IDF also struck a Hezbollah military compound in the area of Khiam.

No injuries were reported in either rocket attack.
