Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati declared three days of national mourning following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The Prime Minister’s Office announced that flags will be flown at half-mast in all government departments, public institutions and municipalities.
They added that public services will also be closed on the day of Nasrallah’s funeral. Hezbollah, however, has not yet announced the date of the funeral.
The Israeli Navy intercepted a missile approaching Israel from the Red Sea area, and another eight missiles coming from Lebanon landed in open areas, according to the morning announcement.
Israeli forces launched large-scale airstrikes in Lebanon earlier this week, killing hundreds and displacing thousands of people.
Tensions further escalated after Nasrallah and other commanders were killed in Beirut on Friday. Israeli forces continued to bomb parts of the Lebanese capital on Saturday.
