[60825] Escalation on the northern border: Rocket fire toward the Galilee and Israeli strikes in Lebanon

Escalation on the northern border

Friday morning, May 15, 2026, was marked by high security tension on the northern border. According to reports from Al Jazeera (אל-ג'זירה) and Quds News Network (רשת קודס), sirens were activated in several locations in the Galilee after a barrage of rockets was launched from Lebanon. Residents in the area reported hearing sounds of explosions.

On the other hand, the Israeli Military (הצבא הישראלי) stated that defense systems intercepted a "projectile" launched from Lebanon in response to the activation of the sirens. Arab media outlets such as Shehab Agency (סוכנות שהאב) and Palestine Today Channel (ערוץ פלסטין אל-יום) also quoted the Israeli "Walla" website, which confirmed the siren activity following the fire.

Israeli strikes deep in Lebanon

In parallel with the events in the Galilee, the Lebanon News 🇱🇧 (אחבאר לובנאן) channel reported extensive Israeli strikes during the night. According to the channel, two airstrikes targeted a building where the "Nabatieh al-Fawqa" municipality center is located, which led to the destruction of the building, with no reports of casualties.

In another report by the same channel, it was stated that a residential apartment in the city of Tyre was attacked, "behind the Italian Hospital" (מאחורי בית החולים האיטלקי). Reports from Lebanon emphasize the damage to civilian infrastructure and the direct attacks within urban areas.
