Red alert sirens blared in the northern Israeli city of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Nahariya on Sunday after three rockets apparently fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon exploded near the Israeli city, Israeli Defense Forces said.
No damage was immediately reported, the
Jerusalem Post said. The rocket attacks came one day after Syrian state media reported that<span style="color: Red;">*</span>an Israeli air strike killed Hezbollah leader Samir Kantar and several other people near Damascus. The Israeli government had accused Kantar of planning attacks to target Israel, but did not claim responsibility for his death, the
Post said.
The
Post, citing a Hezbollah media outlet in Lebanon, said the rockets targeting Israel were fired from a village near Tyre, a southern Lebanese city of more than 100,000.
"IDF has responded with targeted artillery fire following the rockets that hit Israel earlier today from southern Lebanon," the Israeli military tweeted.
Kantar spent almost 30 years in an Israeli prison before he was freed in an exchange in 2008.
