Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv<\/a> and other locations in central, as well as northern, Israel on Monday afternoon following rocket launches from Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Initial reports from Israel’s emergency medical response service, Magen David Adom, did not indicate that anyone had been injured. Emergency medical service United Hatzalah, however, reported a number of rocket strikes in open areas inside Israeli territory.<\/p>\n

The Jerusalem Post has confirmed that the rockets were not ballistic missiles, but were advanced precision long-range rockets. Until now, Hezbollah had only been firing short-range and medium-range, lower-quality rockets on the north and the Haifa area.<\/p>\n

There were a wide range of reports regarding injuries with early reports saying only a few people were injured, and later reports ranging between 16-18 injured.<\/p>\n

The IDF confirmed that several projectiles were launched from Lebanon into Israeli territory, many of which were intercepted, but some hit residential areas, and some were shot down, but the debris from the shoot down still struck in residential areas.<\/p>\n

Magen David Adom responders provided first aid to two people at the scene of the hit in central Israel, whose injuries<\/a> were classified as minor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A 32-year-old man was injured by shrapnel, MDA said, and a 38-year-old woman sustained an injury to her leg.<\/p>\n

In a later update to the same incident, MDA reported that they treated and evacuated 4 people with minor injuries to local hospitals. The patients were suffering from shrapnel injuries.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the IDF announced that the 36th Division had penetrated deeper into southern Lebanon as part of the conflict with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Already last week, three IDF divisions, namely the 91st, 210th, and 146th, had expanded Israel’s security zone in southern Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from even thinking about an invasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and other locations in central, as well as northern, Israel on Monday afternoon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330521,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[86,85,46,88,12429,43,157282,157283],"class_list":{"0":"post-330520","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-hezbollah","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-lebanon","12":"tag-magen-david-adom","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-operation-epic-fury","15":"tag-operation-roaring-lion"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
