Israeli police announced on Friday, June 15, that following rocket fire from Lebanon, the border town of "Kiryat Shmona" in northern Israel sustained damages. According to "The Times of Israel," the police also stated that there are no reports of casualties. The report indicates that a video circulated on social media shows multiple interceptions by the Israeli army over the city of Kiryat Shmona. In this context, Reuters reported that Israeli emergency services announced a series of fires following the launch of dozens of rockets from southern Lebanon to the area surrounding Kiryat Shmona. The army stated that warning sirens were sounded in northern Israel, and emergency services reported that teams are searching the area where financial damages have been reported, but there have been no casualties. These rocket attacks occurred after Lebanese media reported an Israeli airstrike on a building in Janata in the Tyre region. It is said that at least seven people were killed in this attack, including a senior commander of Hezbollah, a group supported by the Islamic Republic in the Middle East. The killing of the Hezbollah commander raises the possibility of increased tensions. Macron announced the formation of a tripartite contact group to reduce tensions between Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets into northern Israel.
