Israel's military said about 40 projectiles crossed from Lebanon within several minutes on Thursday, as Israel pounded Hezbollah targets across the border.

"Approximately 40 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory" after sirens sounded in the Galilee area starting at 4:06 pm (1306 GMT), the military said, adding that several were intercepted.

Earlier, Lebanon's health ministry said that 20 people, almost all Syrians, were killed in an overnight Israeli strike in east Lebanon, after the Israeli military said it hit Hezbollah targets in the area.
