Tel Aviv [Israel], May 7 (HBTV): Sirens blared throughout the Galilee panhandle as Hezbollah launched rockets and drones at northern Israel on Tuesday, the Israel Defence Forces confirmed.  

The military's Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted one of the "aerial targets" while another, likely a drone, fell in the area of Kibbutz Yiftah. That sparked a fire which caused minor damage. The army added that two other drones fell in open areas.   

The IDF said there were no casualties. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks.

In addition, IDF troops fired artillery to remove a threat in the area of Aalma El Chaeb in southern Lebanon.

The attacks came one day after another drone carrying explosives crashed into an army position near the northern city of Metula, killing two reserve soldiers. That attack came amidst a barrage of around 30 rockets. The IDF confirmed it tried and failed to intercept the explosive-laden drone.    

The soldiers were identified as Master Sergeant (Res.) Dan Kamkagi, 31, from Oranim and Master Sergeant (Res.) Nahman Natan Hertz, 31, from Elazar.   

Israel responded with air strikes on Hezbollah positions in the areas of Ayta ash-Shab and Srebbine in Southern Lebanon.                       

On Monday evening, fighter jets additionally struck a Hezbollah site in Mazraat Aaqmata in southern Lebanon.
