Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, claimed Monday responsibility for launching a rocket salvo of rockets toward Kiryat Shmona, particularly, toward the headquarters of the 769th Eastern Brigade, Jibour Camp, in northern occupied Palestine.

The Brigades mentioned the operation came in response to the Israeli massacres against the Palestinian people of Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Earlier, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported gunfire from Lebanon toward the occupied Palestinian territories in the Upper al-Jalil area.

Our correspondent said that a salvo of rockets was fired from Lebanon toward the al-Jalil Panhandle, adding that "Israel's" Iron Dome anti-air system was activated but most of the rockets reached their targets.

Israeli media also reported that sirens sounded in several northern settlements after more than 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon, adding that explosions sounded in the area.

According to the media, Israeli authorities in Kiryat Shmona urged settlers to immediately head to shelters and fortified areas.

In a related context, Israeli media reported that the former head of the Shin Bet, Yaakov Peri, warned that several fronts opened against "Israel" pose a problem for the latter amid internal political division and government instability. 

In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Peri said that "Israel" is engaged in fighting on multiple fronts, adding that it will not be able to find a solution or decision any time soon on any of them.
