The Ynet news website stated that two rockets that fell in the afternoon severely damaged property in the towns of Shlomi and Goren.
During the barrages, no injuries were reported.
During the protracted months of cross-border fire, most northern communities have been evacuated.
A house and an automobile close to the impact site in Goren were damaged, according to a video that was uploaded online.
The Israel Defense Forces claimed to have conducted a surprise drill in the meantime to get the armed forces ready for conflict in the north.
All of the IDF’s commands, wings, and directorates participated in the exercise, which was overseen by the Operations Division and included the General Staff.
The IDF’s preparedness for a range of scenarios in the northern arena was to be strengthened, according to the military.
According to the IDF, a “suspicious aerial target,” most likely a drone, was successfully intercepted by a Patriot air defense system in the afternoon as it was traveling from Lebanon toward Israel.
During the event, one of the Patriot missiles detonated over the northern region of Israel.
Investigations were underway, according to the IDF.
The personnel of the Israeli Air Force will receive training to operate on the Iron Dome as it closes several of its outdated Patriot batteries.
Meanwhile, Syria’s Defense Ministry reported that two people were hurt on Thursday in what appeared to be Israeli airstrikes close to the town of al-Bahdaliyah, which is located outside of Damascus.
The ministry claimed in a statement that “material losses” in a residential building were caused by the strike.
Pictures shared on social media showed smoke coming up from a specific location.
Although it has rarely made public comments about them, Israel has been attacking targets in Syria for years that it claims are connected to Iran. Since 2011, when Tehran started assisting Syrian President Bashar Assad in the civil war that broke out, Tehran’s influence has grown in Syria.
In the midst of the increasingly heated exchanges, the White House called on Israel and Lebanon to prioritize reestablishing calm.
“President Biden and the administration continue to view restoring calm along that border as a top priority. We believe it has to be of the utmost importance for both Lebanon and Israel,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters. Israel has issued a warning, stating that it will no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along the border with Lebanon, where it may attempt to carry out an attack akin to the massacre that Hamas carried out in the south on October 7.
According to officials, the nation is prepared to go on the offensive if diplomatic efforts fail, but they prefer a diplomatic solution.
Officials from Hezbollah have stated time and time again that they will only consent to a diplomatic resolution of border conflicts if Israel stops its ongoing offensive in Gaza.
Additionally, the day after multiple strikes in southern Lebanon that were attributed to Israel claimed the lives of ten emergency rescue workers, the United Nations declared on Thursday that it was “deeply disturbed” by attacks on healthcare facilities.
According to the IDF, al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya terrorists were killed in one of the strikes, which had as its target “a military compound.”.
It claimed that at the time of the strike, a “significant terrorist operative” and other terrorist group members were organizing attacks against Israel.
Three different Israeli strikes on Wednesday, one of which targeted a health center in the border village of Habbariyeh and resulted in the deaths of eleven civilians, according to Lebanese groups.
The UN representative said in a statement, “Attacks on healthcare violate international humanitarian law and are unacceptable.”.
This is somewhat accurate.
Under international law, a medical facility used for military purposes is no longer protected.
In Lebanon, emergency response services and medical facilities are run by multiple terrorist organizations.
In the strikes on Wednesday, Hezbollah claimed four fighters and two rescuers dead, while its ally, the Amal movement, reported losing two members, one of whom was a rescuer.
A civilian in Kiryat Shmona, 25, was killed on Wednesday when Hezbollah launched a flurry of rockets into northern Israel in retaliation for the deadly strikes.
Hezbollah-led forces have been attacking Israeli communities and military posts along the border almost every day since October 8. The group claims that it is doing this to support Gaza during the conflict there.

Two rockets crashed in the afternoon in the villages of Shlomi and Goren, seriously damaging surrounding property, according to the Ynet news website. Regarding the barrages, no casualties were reported. Due to the protracted months-long cross-border fire, most northern communities have been evacuated.

Aiming to prepare the military for war in the north, the Israel Defense Forces announced that they had conducted a surprise exercise.
