“Throughout the weekend of Yom Kippur, approximately 320 projectiles that were fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization crossed from Lebanon into Israel,” the military said in a statement.
In a separate statement, the military said two projectiles were also identified crossing from northern Gaza, where Israel is fighting Palestinian militants, toward the city of Ashkelon but fell in an unpopulated area.
