Israeli forces are on patrol in the north of the country and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as cross-border exchanges of fire with Lebanon-based Hezbollah continue.
Rocket interceptions were visible in the city of Maalot, while military vehicles, including tanks, were in position in the Golan Heights.
Israel closed schools, restricted gatherings in the north and ordered hospitals there to move patients and staff to protected areas. Many have secured or underground facilities designed to withstand rocket fire.
Israeli warplanes carried out the most intense bombardment in almost a year of conflict across Lebanon’s south following deadly attacks on Beirut’s Dahieh suburb.
About 150 rockets, cruise missiles and drones were fired at Israel overnight and into Sunday, most of which were intercepted by air defences, including an “aerial target” that came from the east, the military said.
