A rocket launched from Lebanon on Monday struck in Israel, which responded with artillery fire, following repeated Israeli military raids at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Reuters news agency reported.
On Twitter, the Israeli military said it fired dozens of shells at “open spaces in south Lebanon, near the launch area, and also at an infrastructure target”, which it did not identify.

Palestinian factions in Lebanon have fired sporadically on Israel in the past. However, the border has been largely quiet since Israel’s war on Lebanon in 2006.
