According to the Israeli military, sirens warned of potential impending rocket assaults sounded throughout northern Israel close to the Lebanon border, notably in the city of Kiryat Shmona.
Abdallah Bou Habib, the foreign minister of Lebanon, warned Thursday that further hostility toward Gaza risked starting a “fire that could consume the entire region.”
