IDF soldiers responded with artillery fire after terrorists in Lebanon fired mortar shells at northern Israel early Sunday morning, Israel’s Channel 12 News reported.
The mortar fire was directed at Mount Dov.
The army “is prepared for scenarios in all sectors and will continue to protect the security of the residents of the State of Israel,” the IDF said.
It was not immediately clear which terrorist forces were behind the attack, which comes as Israeli forces in the south of the country are heavily engaged in fighting a war launched Saturday by Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist organization.
IDF Home Front Command has ordered residents in the area to stay in protected spaces and remain alert for updated instructions.
Public shelters in the area were opened by the municipalities.
