Hezbollah fired four rocket barrages into northern Israel early Sunday, claiming it had targeted the Ramat David Air Base with “dozens of rockets” in the first wave. The IDF reported that 110 rockets were launched in total since 1 a.m., most of which were intercepted by air defenses.
Hezbollah claimed to have targeted the air base and a facility of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a major defense contractor, in the Haifa Bay area, using Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 rockets. According to the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese network Al Mayadeen, it was the first use of these rockets since the Iran-backed terrorist group joined the war on October 8.

A 17-year-old boy was killed and four others were injured in a car accident near Ramat Yishai, reportedly during a siren alert. A separate rocket barrage struck a cowshed in Beit She’arim, killing several cows.
Later, around 6:30 a.m., the IDF reported 85 rockets were fired within a half hour, hitting communities from Kiryat Bialik to the Jezreel Valley, causing extensive damage and injuring several people.
A rocket struck a two-story residential building and several cars in Kiryat Bialik in one of the attacks, causing extensive damage. Three people were injured from shrapnel in the attack—a man in his seventies who was moderately wounded and another two who sustained light injuries, including a 16-year-old girl. Several others suffered from shock.
Rocket fragments were found in Tsur Shalom and Moreshet, where a house yard was also hit.

On Saturday, the Israeli Air Force launched strikes on approximately 300 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including launchers and terror infrastructure. The IDF announced changes to Home Front Command guidelines, canceling classes from Haifa northward and placing workplaces under restrictions.
Hezbollah said the attack was in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes that killed civilians in Lebanon. Shortly before the initial attack, the IDF struck around 110 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, sirens also sounded in Be'er Tuvia in southern Israel due to a suspected aerial threat, which the IDF said was intercepted. The IDF remains on high alert, urging the public to follow Home Front Command guidelines and official announcements.
