A projectile landed inside of Israeli territory near Biranit in the Galilee, 700 meters from the Lebanese border overnight Monday, according to police. Army Radio reported that the projectile was a Katyusha rocket fired from Lebanon.
No injuries or damage were reported in the attack.
An explosion was also heard in the Ma'alot area in the Western Galilee. Police were searching the area with the help of the IDF for signs of an additional projectile falling.

A two rocket (with one being a dud) salvo doesn’t sound like the work of Hezbollah. Probably some small Lebanese group letting off some steam at Israel for whatever reason.
Could have been a different type of event if it landed on a house and killed a family though...
“The IDF Spokesperson’s Office said that the army has army has opened fire on Lebanon in response to a barrage of rockets fired on northern Israel.
Northern Command is standing by and is evaluating the situation as it develops. The alert level has been raised but no new instructions have been issued for residents in the region.”
These nutjobs are going to keep screwing with Israel until they get converted to pavement.
A couple of the reports I’ve seen said it was a 3-4 rocket salvo. Not that it really matters . . . still an insignificant number either way.
Whether it was Hezbollah, Pali refugees or LAF - I do think this was “pushback” from Iran for the 2 “accidental” explosions from the past 2 weeks and the Hezbollah ammo dump that went up in smoke this weekend. Timing is too coincidental for it not to be linked somehow.
“Several rockets hit the western Galilee. The Israeli army considers the incident severe and is targeting origins of fire,” said a statement from the military spokesman’s office.
