    Reporting from northern Israel

    Here in northern Israel the sound overhead of jets and helicopters is a near constant presence.

    Alerts continue to flash on phones and sirens blare – as people head to shelters.

    Though the IDF is now on the ground inside southern Lebanon – just a few kilometres from us – its stated aim is to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure and ammunition stores near the border to allow displaced people to return.

    So the rockets have kept flying. The IDF said there were 320 on Saturday. Their range means that Hezbollah rockets can be fired from further back from the contact line – so stopping that threat is much harder.

    Though it can’t prevent them being launched - most of the rockets are either being intercepted by the IDF’s Iron Dome defences or allowed to fall away from population centres.
