Hezbollah rockets hit northern Israeli city of Haifa

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Hezbollah fired more than 135 rockets into northern Israel on Sunday.

Approximately five projectiles crossed from Lebanon after air raid sirens sounded in the Carmel and Bay areas of Haifa at 23:22 local time (20:22 GMT), an IDF statement said.

“Interceptors were fired. Fallen projectiles were identified in the area. The incident is under review,” it added.

Tal Rosen, a member of the emergency services, told Reuters news agency that he had been inside his home about 500m (1,640ft) away when he heard an explosion.

“In the beginning, we didn’t find any injuries and then I saw in this building,” he said, pointing to damaged windows on the side of a nearby apartment block.

“There were shards of glass in this building. I went inside and I found four people [with] minor to moderate [injuries].”

Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service said it treated a 13-year-old boy in a moderate condition with shrapnel injuries to his head, as well as a 22-year-old man in a moderate condition with both a blast injury and a head injury from falling through a window.

Hezbollah said it launched “a salvo of Fadi 1 rockets at the Carmel base south of Haifa” late on Sunday in retaliation for the Israeli air strike that killed its leader Hassan Nasrallah last month.

The MDA also reported that a man in his 20s was in a serious but stable condition are suffering from shrapnel injuries to his chest and abdomen following a separate rocket attack on the town of Tiberias, about 50km (30 miles) to the east.

The IDF said approximately 15 projectiles were identified as crossing from Lebanon at the same time as the Haifa attack. Some were intercepted while others fell in the area, it added.
