The Israeli army also said al-Marj military post, which faces the Lebanese town of Markaba, was attacked.

Earlier on Monday, Israel fired medium-caliber machineguns at the Ruwaisat al-Alam in Kfarshouba, and said it had targeted with drones militants who were trying to fire missiles at the occupied Shebaa Farms from the outskirts of the town of Kfar Hamam in the Arqoob region.

The army also said its Iron Dome air defense system shot down a drone that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon toward Israel.

The drone entered from Lebanon via the sea and was intercepted over Ein Hamifratz, south of Akka.

Rocket sirens had sounded in Ein Hamifratz and Kfar Masaryk before residents reported hearing a large explosion. There were no reports of injuries.

The area is 17 kilometers from the Lebanese border, and 160 kilometers from the Gaza border.
