Militants fired rockets from Lebanon toward Israel on Friday for the second time in a week. One of the rockets was shot down by the Israeli military and another fell in Lebanese territory. Hezbollah has denied responsibility for either attack. The Israeli military said Friday it targeted a drone storage facility used by Hezbollah’s aerial unit. The Lebanese military said it found the site of the militants’ launch and was investigating the incident.
