TL;DR Summary

Militants in Lebanon fired 34 rockets at Israel, with 25 being shot down by the Iron Dome defense system, raising fears of a wider conflict. Israel's Security Cabinet will meet to assess the situation and respond accordingly. Hezbollah condemned Israel's storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, but no faction in Lebanon claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. Tensions have been high in the region due to recent events at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Israeli airstrikes in Syria. Two people were wounded by shrapnel from the rockets, and Israel denies firing shells toward southern Lebanese towns in response.
