The Israeli military reported that at least four projectiles were fired from the Gaza Strip on Monday, just minutes after Israel began its formal commemoration of last year's October 7 attacks.

"Following the sirens that sounded at 06:31 in several communities near the Gaza Strip, four projectiles were identified crossing from the southern Gaza Strip.

Three of the projectiles were intercepted by the IAF (air force), and a fallen projectile was identified in an open area," the military said.

Additionally, sirens were heard in the Upper Galilee region of northern Israel amid continued rocket fire from neighboring Lebanon, where Israeli forces are engaged with Hezbollah militants.

Earlier in the day, the military also intercepted two "suspicious aerial targets" launched from the east.
