The Israeli military said on Monday that the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah fired around 165 rockets into the north of Israel.

According to the Magen David Adom rescue service, a total of six people were injured, including a one-year-old child, in the Karmiel area of the Galilee and in the area of Kirjat Ata, just east of Haifa. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said some projectiles were intercepted by missile defense and others struck open areas.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for several attacks.

The Iran-allied militia has been shelling Israel since the Gaza war began more than a year ago. (DPA)
