Two people are critically wounded in a rocket impact in the Golan Heights a short while ago, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.

According to initial reports, the pair were injured by a rocket that struck a car they were in or next to at the Nafah junction.

Hezbollah takes responsibility for launching dozens of rockets in the attack.

In a statement, the terror group claims to have targeted the IDF’s Nafah base, located just south of the community of Ortal.

Hezbollah says the attack is a response to the killing earlier today of Yasser Qarnabash, a member of the terror group, in a purported IDF strike on the Beirut-Damascus highway, in Syria.

Separately, Hezbollah says it fired missiles at a home in Manara, in response to an earlier IDF strike in the south Lebanon town of Rab al-Thalathine.
