The Israeli occupation military claimed that 34 rockets were launched on Thursday from southern Lebanon on occupied Al-Jalil.

The occupation said the Iron Dome air security system intercepted 25 of the projectiles, adding that at least five rockets landed in occupied Palestinian lands.

It claimed that the locations of the remaining four rockets are still unknown.

Israeli media reported that the rockets caused two minor injuries and some damage.

The Times of Israel highlighted that the attack "may mark the largest number of rockets fired from Lebanon" since the July 2006 war.

In the same context, Israeli media reported that Israeli occupation military chief of staff Herzi Halevi and the head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar are holding a security assessment in "Tel Aviv" following the rocket fire.

The media mentioned that Halevi and Bar will later hold meetings with Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Yoav Gallant.

On its part, the Israeli occupation Foreign Ministry confirmed that it is instructing Israeli missions around the world to inform the so-called "international community" that "Israel" will respond to today’s rocket barrage from Lebanon.

On the other hand, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told CNN that "we are at a very dangerous moment."

"What we see unfolding on the Lebanese border is obviously a consequence, a reaction to what we saw happening in Al-Aqsa [mosque]," Safadi pointed out.

Earlier, Netanyahu's office confirmed that the high-level Israeli occupation security cabinet will convene tonight following rocket attacks from Lebanon.

According to The Times of Israel, the meeting will come after an assessment that Netanyahu is expected to hold with Israeli security officials.

It added that the cabinet has not met in nearly two months.

Israeli media reported that security estimates suggest that this is a Palestinian retaliation to the attacks and assaults on worshippers in Al-Aqsa, in occupied Al-Quds, and it could be in coordination with Hezbollah.

However, Reuters cited three security sources as saying that Palestinian factions, not Hezbollah, were behind the rocket attacks from Lebanon toward occupied Palestine.

IOF say Hamas behind rocket barrage from Lebanon

Israeli occupation military Spokesperson Daniel Hagari claimed that the Hamas movement is behind the rocket fire from Lebanon.

Hagari told reporters at a briefing that the attack comes amid confrontations between occupation police and Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The spokesperson added that the Israeli occupation military is looking into an alleged "Iranian involvement" in the attack.

Similarly, the former head of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, Tamir Hayman, claimed that Palestinian factions in Lebanon were responsible for the barrage of rockets.

"It wasn’t Hezbollah shooting, but it’s hard to believe that Hezbollah didn’t know about it," Hayman considered.
