The Israeli military said on Sunday it intercepted two projectiles that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon after sirens sounded in the northern communities of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali. Officials described the events as part of ongoing skirmishes along the border zone.
Clashes between Israeli forces and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have persisted. Hezbollah has rejected proposals that would make a ceasefire contingent on the group first disarming, arguing instead that Israel must stop its attacks and withdraw forces from southern Lebanon before any disarmament can be discussed.
Separately, Iran has made a ceasefire in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel a condition for any peace agreement with the United States, according to statements referenced by officials. Hezbollah said it entered the war on March 2, stating it was retaliating for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader at the start of the conflict.
The confrontation has had a heavy humanitarian toll in Lebanon. The parties report that thousands of people in Lebanon have been killed and more than a million have been displaced as a result of the fighting.
Israel has maintained that its strikes are directed at Hezbollah members and infrastructure. The Israeli military also continued strikes in Lebanon prior to Hezbollah's entry into the war on March 2, including actions taken despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that came into force in November 2024.
Sunday's interceptions came after local sirens alerted residents in the affected communities. The military's statement noted the projectiles crossed from Lebanese territory before being intercepted, but it did not provide additional operational details in the initial announcement.
As of the military's report, the border exchanges remain unresolved, with both tactical events and political positions - such as Hezbollah's rejection of disarmament-linked ceasefire proposals and Iran's condition for any U.S. peace deal - sustaining the current stalemate.
