Hezbollah fires 85 projectiles over Haifa, Israel strikes Dahieh

The Israeli army said on Tuesday about 85 projectiles were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, including the city of Haifa, as Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem delivered a defiant televised speech.

"In the areas of the Upper Galilee, Central Galilee, and Haifa Bay, approximately 85 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory."

A 70-year-old woman was moderately wounded by shrapnel and Israeli media aired footage of what appeared to be minor damage to buildings near the coastal city of Haifa. Israel’s rescue service Magen David Adom said 12 people have been wounded in the shelling on Haifa and Krayot - a cluster of small cities and neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city of Haifa.

Hezbollah said it launched a "large rocket salvo" at Haifa and its northern suburbs, "in response to Israel's attacks on cities, villages and civilians."

Meanwhile, a violent Israeli airstrike targeted the Beirut southern suburb of Haret Hreik.
