Israeli Air Force Intercepts Rockets from Lebanon

On September 23, 2024, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted multiple missiles fired from Lebanon, successfully neutralizing five projectiles that triggered alarm sirens across northern communities, including Haifa. In a separate incident, Lebanese media reported at least 15 fatalities from Israeli airstrikes in Baalbek and Sidon. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin expressed concern over IDF actions that allegedly targeted United Nations peacekeeping positions in southern Lebanon. Overall, the IDF stated that around 40 rockets had been launched from Lebanon in recent days, with all either intercepted or landing in uninhabited areas. Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries from these missile threats. The situation remains tense, with ongoing military activity in the region.
