Very high tension in the Middle East. The Saudi TV channel Al-Hadth reported the launch of "a barrage of rockets from Lebanon towards the Galilee settlements" in Israel.

Airborne warnings had previously been activated at numerous locations in the area. Al Jazeera also reported that sirens sounded in 9 cities in the western Galilee, on the border with Lebanon, after two days of relative calm on the northern front of the Jewish state, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Fouad Shukr in the southern suburb of Beirut.

Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said Tel Aviv's army was "on high alert."
