The Israeli army said in a tweet on Twitter that two rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel on Tuesday, causing sirens to sound in northern Israel.

He explained that the Iron Dome system intercepted one of them, while the second fell in an open place, causing no damage, adding that he responded with artillery fire.

Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that the Israeli army bombed the launch site of the two missiles in the border area in southern Lebanon.

In 2006, Israel fought a war against Hezbollah, which enjoys influence in southern Lebanon and possesses advanced missiles.

But the border region has been quiet for most of the time since then.

And in the past, small Palestinian factions in Lebanon have fired rockets and missiles at northern Israel, intermittently.
