At least 40 missiles were launched on Israel from the territory of Lebanon on the evening of 12 April, IDF states. Hezbollah, a political party and militant group that first emerged in Lebanon after the 1982 Israeli invasion, took the responsibility for it.

Details: Earlier in the evening the air defence system of the IDF successfully intercepted two explosive UAVs of Hezbollah which had crossed the Lebanese territory and entered the territory of Israel.

Several launches, which passed the territory of Lebanon in the direction of Ramot Naftali, were also documented. There is no information concerning casualties.

Within the last few hours the IDF struck a number of settlements in the south of Lebanon "in order to remove [the] threat".
