These are the first alarms that have been activated in Afula for more than 9 months, according to Israeli media. The IDF detected 10 launches.
Hezbollah sent rockets into the Jezreel Valley at around 01:10 am on Sunday morning, with alerts in and around Haifa, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee. At 2am, Army Radio announced that Israel was striking southern Lebanon in response.
Army radio and KAN reported that Hezbollah specifically targeted the Ramat David base near Haifa for the first time in the war. Hezbollah confirmed this on Telegram, saying they had targeted the Ramat David base and airport in response to IAF strikes in Beirut which killed some of its top commanders.
The IDF confirmed that ten missiles were launched. Most were intercepted, but they announced that a fall was detected in the area.
Social media reported falls in Moshav Sde Ya'akov, and a fire breaking out as a result of a fall in Kfar Baruch, which was later confirmed by Israeli outlets. Emek Jezreel regional council said one fall was detected in the area and there was minor damage to property.
According to KAN, a rocket fell in Nazareth, and a large fire broke out elsewhere in the city. MDA reported that a 60 year old man was slightly wounded by shrapnel in the Lower Galilee.
Israel Police urged the public to stay away from rocket shrapnel or fragments, as they may contain explosive material.
Residents of Kiryat Tivon said that they were unable to get into to public shelters as they were locked, according to KAN.
