The difficult reality of living in Israel, especially during war, is that code red sirens can sound at any moment to alert civilians of an incoming rocket attack from the enemies that surround them.

On Wednesday morning, 50 rockets were fired at Israel from Lebanon, as alarms sounded across northern Israel, and one person was injured, reports The Jerusalem Post:

One man was moderately wounded, and fires broke out after around 50 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into northern Israel on Wednesday morning.

Some were intercepted by the IDF, and a number fell in the town of Katzrin in the Golan Heights, the IDF, Police, and Magen David Adom (MDA) reported.

Hezbollah announced later on Wednesday morning that, in response to IAF strikes on the Beqaa region in the night, the terror organization sent Katyusha rockets into the Golan, according to the Hezbollah-backed Lebanese channel “Al-Manar.” Hezbollah also released a statement saying they had been targeting the IDF Tsnobar base specifically, which is in the vicinity of Katzrin. They later stated that launched a drone attack on military posts in the kibbutz of Amiad in northern Israel, again in retaliation for the Beqaa strikes, following reports of sirens in the Galilee.
