Two Brit sisters killed in West Bank shooting
The military said 34 rockets were launched from Lebanon, of which 25 were intercepted by air defence systems.
It was the biggest such attack since 2006, when Israel fought a war with the heavily armed Hezbollah movement. "Israel's response, tonight and later, will exact a significant price from our enemies," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said following a security cabinet meeting. As the Israeli jets struck in Gaza, salvoes of rockets were fired in response and sirens sounded in Israeli towns and cities in bordering areas.
However there were no reports of serious casualties and only one rocket hit a target, damaging a house in the southern town of Sderot.
