Israeli police reported heavy damage in northern Israel following a Hezbollah rocket barrage on Friday.
Earlier on Friday, the Israeli military said nearly two dozen projectiles were identified crossing into Israeli territory from Lebanon.
Police officials said they had received reports about several areas impacted by rocket fire across Kiryat Shmona and the Lower Galilee, with heavy damage reported.
Several fires broke out but no injuries were reported.
Police officers and bomb disposal teams were at the scenes of the strikes.
Firefighting teams were working to extinguish a fire that broke out after a direct hit on a garage in Kiryat Shmona, according to a statement from the Fire and Rescue Services.
The strikes followed warning sirens in Kiryat Shmona and nearby communities.
Hezbollah said it had targeted Kiryat Shmona with a rocket barrage “in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the barbaric Israeli assaults on cities, villages, and civilians.”
