Rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel; no injuries reported

Rockets were again fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, triggering air alert sirens in several towns, including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya, authorities said Tuesday.

Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom said there were no immediate reports of injuries.

The Israeli army also issued a new warning to residents of southern Lebanon, urging them to move north of the Zahrani River, about 40 kilometers from the Israeli border.

The army said its operations in southern Lebanon were aimed at countering the activities of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

Lebanese authorities said Monday that more than a million people have been displaced since the latest fighting between Israel and Hezbollah began on March 2, while nearly 900 people have been killed in Israeli strikes.

The Israeli army announced Monday evening that ground operations in southern Lebanon would be expanded. Israeli media reported that an additional division had joined the deployment. A division generally consists of between 10,000 and 15,000 men.
