Israel says it intercepted rockets fired from Lebanon

Hezbollah had earlier said it fired rockets towards a military base northern Israel, but it is unclear if the rockets intercepted by IDF were part of the same attack.

Iran says it did not have prior knowledge of Oct. 7 Hamas attacks
Iran did not have prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel a year ago and did not take part in the assault, Iran’s mission to the United Nations said in a statement.
Iran’s U.N. mission was responding to reports in the New York Times and Washington Post citing secret Hamas documents seized by Israeli forces. The documents cited by the media reports showed Hamas discussed the planned attack with Iranian commanders in advance and had asked Iran and Hezbollah to take part in the attacks.
“While Doha-stationed Hamas officials have themselves stated that they, too, had no prior knowledge of the operation and that all the planning, decision-making, and directing were solely executed by Hamas’s military wing based in Gaza, any claim attempting to link it to Iran or Hezbollah—either partially or wholly—is devoid of credence and comes from fabricated documents,” Iran’s U.N. mission said.
