3 Rockets strike Israel from Lebanon, Israeli army says no causality reported

Three rockets were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon on Wednesday which caused warning sirens to sound in the Kiryat Shmona area. The Israeli military said it fired artillery into Lebanese territory in response to the attack.

As per the updates from news agency Reuters, Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said there were no casualties on the Israeli side of the frontier. The ambulance service has posted a photograph on Twitter showing smoke rising from a field.

Sirens warning of a rocket attack sounded in several Israeli communities, including the town of Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanese border.

Issuing a statement, the Israeli Army said that three rockets were launched from Lebanon, with one falling short of the Israeli border and the others striking inside Israel. Witnesses in Lebanon also reported that several rockets were fired at Israel.
