Israel Intercepts Two Projectiles Fired from Lebanon

The Israeli army said it intercepted two projectiles fired into Israeli territory from Lebanon on Sunday, after sirens sounded in the Yiftah and Ramot Naftali areas.

Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have continued unabated. The Lebanese militant group has rejected proposals linking a ceasefire to disarmament, insisting that Israel must first halt its attacks and withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon.

Iran has made a ceasefire between its close ally Hezbollah and Israel a condition of any peace deal with the United States.

Hezbollah entered the war on 2 March, citing retaliation for the killing of Iran's supreme leader at the start of a conflict that has since claimed thousands of lives and displaced more than one million people in Lebanon. Israel had continued attacks in Lebanon even before that date despite a US-brokered ceasefire that came into effect in November 2024, saying they targeted Hezbollah members and infrastructure.
