Rocket fired from Lebanon kills 2 in north Israel
First responders say a rocket fired from Lebanon hit a storage facility in the northern Israeli town of Nahariya, killing two people.
The Magen David Adom rescue service said the two people killed on Tuesday were in their 40s. It said two others were wounded by shrapnel from a separate impact near the town.
The Israeli military said Hezbollah fired a barrage of around 10 projectiles into the country’s north, some of which were intercepted. On Monday, the Lebanese militant group launched some 200 projectiles into Israel, it said.
The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah steadily escalated and boiled over into all-out war in September. Israel launched a ground invasion of Lebanon in early October.
