Two Israelis were injured and a building was damaged Thursday after rockets fired from Lebanon struck northern Israel, local media reported.
Channel 12 said that more than 30 rockets were launched toward the Galilee region within a short time, bringing the total number of rockets fired since midnight to around 50.
Israel's public broadcaster KAN said two people sustained "minor" injuries after rockets fell in the settlement of Kiryat Shmona, adding that a building was also damaged.
Hezbollah said it targeted the settlements of Avivim, Metula, and Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel twice in succession with rockets.
The attacks come as Iran's military threatened to launch "stronger, wider, and more destructive" attacks against the US and Israel, rejecting President Donald Trump's claims that its capabilities have been significantly weakened.
The warning came hours after Trump said in a televised address from the White House that Iran had "very few" missile launchers left and that its ability to launch missiles and drones had been "dramatically curtailed."
Trump said he expects the war to continue for another two to three weeks but believes the conflict is approaching an end.
Tensions in the region have escalated since Israel and the US launched a joint offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, resulting in more than 1,340 deaths, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.
