Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a stern warning following the interception of three rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Saturday.

In a statement, Katz emphasized that Israel would not tolerate attacks on its northern communities. "We cannot allow fire from Lebanon on Galilee communities," he said. "The Lebanese government is responsible for attacks from its territory. I have ordered the military to respond accordingly."

The rocket fire, which was intercepted by Israeli defense systems, did not cause casualties or significant damage. However, the incident has further escalated tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, an area that has seen intermittent hostilities in recent months.

Israeli military officials are assessing the situation, with reports suggesting that retaliatory action could be imminent. The incident adds to growing concerns over regional stability, as both sides remain on high alert.Israeli Defense Minister Vows Retaliation After Rocket Fire from Lebanon
