Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades took responsibility for a barrage of over 20 rockets that were launched from Lebanon towards the Upper Galilee in Israel's North, according to the group's Telegram channel on Monday.

The terrorist group claimed that they targeted an Israeli military position with a salvo of missiles from southern Lebanon.

Israeli media reported that around 13 of the launched rockets were intercepted by air defense systems and that the rest fell into open areas.

No injuries or damage to property have been reported at this time.

This attack came shortly after the IDF announced that it conducted multiple overnight strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

Among the targets struck were operational infrastructure in the area of Jabal Blat, as well as a number of Hezbollah military structures in the area of Marwahin.
