Israel’s i24 News television said on Thursday that several northern Israeli towns bordering Lebanon were placed under lockdown after reports of a possible "terrorist" infiltration.
The television did not provide any further details.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army said that rocket alert sirens were launched in North Israel.
Since the surprise October 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel, there have been near daily exchanges of cross-border fire between the Israeli army, and Hezbollah and other armed Palestinian factions.

Israel’s military said Saturday that it killed a Hezbollah intelligence official in a strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed.

The army said it “eliminated” Hassan Khalil Yassin in a strike in the Dahiyeh area of Beirut.

It added that Yassin was involved in planning attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians, including some planned to be carried out “in the coming days.”
