Hezbollah said it launched an attack on northern Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for what it said were Israeli violations of a 10-day ceasefire.

Hezbollah said in a statement that "in defence of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the blatant" Israeli ceasefire violations, including "attacks on civilians and the destruction of their homes and villages", its fighters launched rockets and attack drones at a military site in northern Israel that it said was the source of artillery shelling towards a south Lebanon town.

The Israeli military said earlier Tuesday that Hezbollah "launched several rockets" towards soldiers stationed in south Lebanon and that the military struck the launcher in response, adding that sirens had sounded in two northern Israeli communities after a drone fired from Lebanon was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory.
