Sirens sounded at around 1:10 a.m. Sunday morning, warning over 70 communities in northern Israel of incoming rockets.
Among the communities in the list were Yokne'am, Nazareth, Afula, communities in the Lower Galilee and Jezreel Valley, and the Carmel area.
Initial reports claimed that Hezbollah fired its Fajr-5 missile, for the first time since 2006. One injury was reported. Most of the rockets were intercepted by Israel's missile defense systems.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the barrage on the north, saying, "We fired rockets at the air force base in Ramat David in response to the Israeli attacks."
Power outages are reported in Afula and nearby communities.
The IDF reported: "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in the Jezreel Valley area, approximately 10 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Most of the projectiles were intercepted and a fallen projectile was identified in the area. The incident is under review."
Magen David Adom reported that a 60-year-old man was very lightly injured by a fragment of rocket which was intercepted near a village in the Lower Galilee.
