Sirens blared across the Haifa Bay area and Western Galilee on Saturday morning, signaling a series of rocket and drone attacks launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
The IDF later reported that 35 rockets crossed into Israel from Lebanon as part of the barrage. The projectiles landed in open fields, and no injuries were reported.
Alerts were triggered in Kiryat Bialik, Kiryat Motzkin, Shfaram, Acre, Tamra, Klil, Kfar Masaryk, Amka, Sheikh Danun, Neveh Ziv and Afek as the strikes expanded.
Earlier, approximately 20 rockets were launched toward Nahariya and its surrounding areas, with some intercepted by air defenses, according to the IDF.
Repeated warnings were issued throughout the morning for rocket fire and hostile aircraft infiltrations in Nahariya, Bezet, Lehman, Sa’ar, Gesher HaZiv, the Milouot Industrial Zone and Rosh Hanikra.
Police reported that a drone exploded on the second-floor balcony of an unoccupied residential building in Nahariya. "Three drones crossed into Israel from Lebanon; some were intercepted while others crashed, causing property damage," authorities said.
