Israeli artillery fired at targets in South Lebanon on Wednesday, after a barrage of rockets was launched on Israel in the third such attack in less than a week.
There were no immediate reports of injuries in Israel, the country's Magen David Adom ambulance service said.
No group has so far taken responsibility.
“Four rockets were fired from Lebanon on Northern Israel before the Israeli responded with artillery on the firing sites”.
The Israeli military said its Iron Dome system had intercepted one of the rockets, whilst the other three had fallen without causing casualty.
The Israeli military also said warning sirens were continuing to sound in the Lower Galilee and Krayot area.
Video posted to social media indicate that the rockets had originated in the town of Siddiqin.
A spokesperson for the group Hezbollah declined to comment on the incident.
The Lebanese Army told The National that the rockets were fired with timer devices, and that one unlaunched projectile was discovered. The Army said they had increased patrols to investigate the incident.
Unifil, the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, urged restraint on all sides, and said in a statement that peacekeepers were now on the ground with the Lebanese army to assess the situation.
The two previous barrages, neither of which caused any casualties, were attributed to Palestinian groups in Lebanon, not Hezbollah.
But the latest incident will heighten existing fears of a much larger conflict than the war in Gaza.
Following the exchange of fire, the Israeli military warned, "we are prepared for any scenario on any front."
Unrest has been simmering on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon over the last week, as Gaza descended into all-out conflict. On Friday evening, a 21-year-old Hezbollah member was shot and killed by Israeli border guards, as he attempted to storm the border wall with a small group of demonstrators. The weekend saw huge crowds massing along the frontier, with Lebanese and Palestinians raising the Hezbollah and Iranian flags on the border wall.

Why are asylum seekers being housed in hotels?
The number of asylum applications in the UK has reached a new record high, driven by those illegally entering the country in small boats crossing the English Channel.
A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to June 2025, the highest number for any 12-month period since current records began in 2001.
Asylum seekers and their families can be housed in temporary accommodation while their claim is assessed.
The Home Office provides the accommodation, meaning asylum seekers cannot choose where they live.
When there is not enough housing, the Home Office can move people to hotels or large sites like former military bases.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

How to become a Boglehead
Bogleheads follow simple investing philosophies to build their wealth and live better lives. Just follow these steps.
• Spend less than you earn and save the rest. You can do this by earning more, or being frugal. Better still, do both.
• Invest early, invest often. It takes time to grow your wealth on the stock market. The sooner you begin, the better.
• Choose the right level of risk. Don't gamble by investing in get-rich-quick schemes or high-risk plays. Don't play it too safe, either, by leaving long-term savings in cash.
• Diversify. Do not keep all your eggs in one basket. Spread your money between different companies, sectors, markets and asset classes such as bonds and property.
• Keep charges low. The biggest drag on investment performance is all the charges you pay to advisers and active fund managers.
• Keep it simple. Complexity is your enemy. You can build a balanced, diversified portfolio with just a handful of ETFs.
• Forget timing the market. Nobody knows where share prices will go next, so don't try to second-guess them.
• Stick with it. Do not sell up in a market crash. Use the opportunity to invest more at the lower price.
