JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army on Friday afternoon detected 10 more rockets launched from Lebanon toward settlements in northern Israel.

According to Israel's Channel 12, air-raid sirens were activated in several locations in northern Israel, including the Kiryat Shmona settlement, Safed city, and northern Haifa.

Some of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli air defenses, while others fell into open areas, the broadcaster reported, citing a military statement.

No casualties or material damage were reported.

Earlier, the Lebanese Hezbollah group said it struck an Israeli military base in eastern Haifa city with advanced rockets.

The resistance group added that it also hit the Kiryat Shmona settlement and 11 Israeli forces' gatherings in northern Israel and southern Lebanon with rockets.

Israel has engaged in cross-border warfare with Lebanon, launching an air campaign in late September against what it claims are Hezbollah targets.

Nearly 3,600 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon, with more than 5,000 injured and over 1 million displaced since last October, according to Lebanese health authorities.

Tel Aviv expanded the conflict by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
