Israeli authorities confirmed multiple projectiles originating from Lebanon struck several locations across northern Israel, including the town of Safed Feb. 14. At least eight people were wounded following a direct strike in Safed.
There have been regular reports of violence along Israel's north since Hamas launched attacks against military and civilian targets in southern Israel Oct. 7. Lebanon's Hizballah and Palestinian militants continue to launch projectiles targeting northern Israeli areas. Israeli retaliatory fire has impacted sites across southern Lebanon. Israeli authorities will likely continue to maintain an increased security posture throughout the area.
