Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv suburbs as the attack took place on Sunday.

The IDF says that it intercepted a number of the projectiles fired from within Lebanon.

The attacks wounded 11 people in Israel with a man reported to be in a 'moderate to serious condition' according to medical agencies.

The attacks come a day after Israel killed at least 29 people in central Beirut - wounding around 66 others.

Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said it was an assault on US-led attempts to secure a ceasefire.

Mr Mikati said it was “direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts” to end the war.

“(Israel is) again writing in Lebanese blood a brazen rejection of the solution that is being discussed,” a statement from his office read.
