One man was killed and another wounded by shrapnel from a rocket fired at Acre and nearby areas in northern Israel on Saturday, as Hezbollah launched over 115 rockets and drones in a series of attacks.
The IDF said at least five people were injured in the attacks, which began in the early morning hours.
"Following sirens between 12:25 and 12:27 in the Upper, Western and Central Galilee and the Haifa Bay areas, approximately 30 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory," the military said in a statement. "Some of the projectiles were intercepted, while others landed in the area."

Earlier, a rocket hit a residential apartment block in Kiryat Ata, a suburb of Haifa, wounding two people. Three others were injured in a barrage targeting the border town of Shlomi in the Western Galilee.
