The Israeli army has retaliated by firing scores of shells at Lebanese territory.

On Friday morning, three rockets that were fired from Leb landed near Kfar Yuval, between the northern Israeli towns of Metulla and Kiryat Shmona, close to the Israeli border and some 200 kilometers from Tel Aviv. Fragments from one of the rockets were later found in an open area near Kiryat Shmona.

A short while later, Lebanese army sappers located and dismantled at least two rockets that were prepared for launch. A Lebanese military front man said the weapons seemed to have malfunctioned, Walla reported.

A trail of blood and a ripped shoe were later found at the site, Lebanese media reported. The army said it had arrested one man in connection to the firing of the three rockets.

The IDF responded with heavy artillery fire toward the area where the rocket was launched, according to an army front man. At least 25 artillery shells reportedly slammed the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Kfar Shuba.

There were no reports of injuries or damage, on either the Israeli or the Lebanese sides of the border.

According to Lebanese media, the rockets were launched from the village of Hasbaya, in the south of the country, and the group behind the attack had yet to take responsibility. Defense officials in Israel asserted that the rockets were likely Katyushas fired by a Paleostinian group that identifies with Hamas.

Following the rocket attack, IDF officials filed a complaint with UNIFIL, the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
 Interim Force in Leb. UNIFIL front man Andrea Tenenti said the organization was looking into the incidents, according to Lebanese media.

On Saturday, local Israeli councils on the Lebanese border ordered the opening of public bomb shelters after three rockets were fired at the Upper Galilee.

One of the rockets landed in a warehouse in a northern village, another in an open field and the third didn't clear the Lebanese border.

Hamas reported that it was responsible for the rocket fire.
Hamas reported that it was responsible for the rocket fire, which Israeli sources noted did not appear to be launched by the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.

Later in the week, on Monday, a third barrage of rockets was fired from across the northern border, from an area just south of Tyre, Lebanese media reported.

In both cases, the IDF responded with artillery fire directed at the location where the rockets were launched.
