Dozens Of Rockets Pound Israel From Lebanon In Most Serious Escalation Since 2006 War

The prior days of clashes and tensions at Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque are spiraling toward broader conflict in Gaza and along Israel’s northern border as on Thursday afternoon a barrage of rockets was fired from Lebanon.

Rocket sirens have been sounding in the towns of Betzet and Shlomi in the Western Galilee, close to the border, while the IDF says its Iron Dome system intercepted at least one of the projectiles. There are emerging reports of at least person wounded by shrapnel on the Israeli side.
