Hezbollah continues firing at northern Israel, hits home in assisted living neighborhood in Safed
Islamic Resistance in Iraq launches drone at Israel’s Golan Heights
While the IDF continued carrying out large airstrikes in Lebanon on Wednesday, Hezbollah kept up its rocket fire at Israeli communities in northern Israel after targeting Tel Aviv for the first time in the war.
The IDF said that about 40 projectiles were detected crossing the border from Lebanon late Wednesday morning as warning sirens activated in the Upper Galilee.
According to the IDF Spokesperson, several projectiles were intercepted, and a projectile fall was identified in an assisted living facility for elderly people in the area of Safed.
Dramatic videos on social media showed dozens of Iron Dome missiles launching to intercept the incoming projectiles.
Firefighters from the Golan-Galilee station were dispatched to fight a number of fires due to impacts near the cities of Safed and Rosh Pina.
EMS personnel also searched the home, which was impacted by the rocket, but did not find anyone. It was later revealed that the tenant is not currently in Israel.
Safed Mayor Yossi Kakon told N12 News, “This is an assisted living neighborhood, a neighborhood close to military bases. The missile entered the rooms and miraculously there was no one in the house because the tenant is abroad.”
The neighborhood had not yet been evacuated, but Kakon said he hopes the military will issue an evacuation order after the rocket attack.
“We asked the Home Front Command and the army to evacuate this neighborhood because there is no protection or shelters. I hope that after the fall - it will be answered.”
Kakon also said, “This is a direct fall, not (Iron Dome) interceptor parts.”
Since the rocket barrage this morning, there have been about 60 projectiles fired at the city of Safed today.
Hezbollah affiliated Al Mayadeen reported that the barrage of rockets was launched at “the colonial outpost of Hatzor” near Safed.
The North Medical Center in Poriya released a statement after the barrage:
“During the last 24 hours, 12 victims of the rocket barrages arrived, all of them suffering from anxiety or injured on their way to shelter. Everyone's condition was described as mild, and they were released to their homes.”
Alarms sounded several times throughout the morning in the Lower Galilee region, the Golan Heights, and along the Confrontation Line (northern border).
Shortly before 9:00 a.m., a drone crossing into Israeli territory from Syria was intercepted and downed by IAF fighter jets.
According to Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen, the drone was launched by The Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
Al Mayadeen quoted a statement from the group claiming the attack was “in continuation of our path in resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”
