JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli strikes hit targets of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon on Wednesday after dozens of missiles were fired into northern Israel, starting fires but causing no significant damage, the military said.
The military said around 65 projectiles were fired from Lebanon, some of which were intercepted by Israel's aerial defence systems and some of which fell into open areas.
Emergency services were dealing with fires caused by falling projectiles, it said. There were no reports of casualties.
