6 Rockets Fired from Lebanon at Metula; IDF Airstrikes Hit Dozens of Hezbollah Sites

Six rockets were fired from southern Lebanon at the northern Israeli border community Metula on Saturday morning, March 22, in the first rocket attack on the northern border since December. 

The Israel Defense Forces later responded with two waves of airstrikes on dozens of Hezbollah sites, including rocket launchers, across Lebanon. 

The IDF said air defenses intercepted three projectiles that crossed the border, while the other three rockets fell short in Lebanon. There were no reports of injuries or damage in the rocket attack.

Several hours later, the Hezbollah terror group denied being responsible for the rocket fire on northern Israel. 

The IDF initially responded to the attack with artillery fire against the source of the rocket fire in south Lebanon. Additionally, troops reportedly fired automatic weapons at the border villages of Hula, Markaba, and Kfar Kila.

The IDF later launched a wave of airstrikes on dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center used by the terror group in southern Lebanon. In the evening, the military carried out a second wave of strikes, saying it targeted Hezbollah command centers, infrastructure, operatives, rocket launchers, and a weapons depot. (TOI/VFI News)
