The Israeli army says it has fired artillery shells into Lebanon after rocket fire was launched from Lebanon into Israel amid rising tensions in the region. “Three rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the army said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that one had fallen short of the border. “In response … artillery forces fired into Lebanese territory.”

Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 reported that one rocket exploded in an open area and another was intercepted by Israel’s defence system, known as the Iron Dome. Witnesses in Lebanon also reported that several rockets were fired at Israel. Israeli medics distributed images of a brush fire and said they treated four people suffering “stress symptoms”. It was not immediately clear whether Lebanon had any casualties. Sirens warning of a rocket attack sounded in several Israeli communities, including the town of Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanese border.

The Israeli military said it had imposed no restrictions on civilians in northern areas. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he and defence minister Benny Gantz had been “briefed” on developments and were overseeing the response. The exchange of fire comes days after Israel joined other states in accusing Iran of being behind an apparent drone attack on an Israeli-linked tanker off Oman, which killed two crew members, and hinted at possible retaliation.
