Israeli military reports projectiles fired from Lebanon, marking a significant escalation amid ongoing tensions with Hezbollah.
Israeli military said on Monday (March 2, 2026) that projectiles launched from Lebanon resulted in sirens sounding in several areas in northern Israel, the first such launch from Lebanese territory since the start of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Israel and Lebanon agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in 2024, ending more than a year of fighting between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah that had culminated in Israeli strikes that severely weakened the Iran-backed group. Since then, the sides have traded accusations over violations.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah on the reported launch from Lebanon.
