Some 85 rockets were launched from Lebanon at Haifa a short while ago, the IDF says.
It is the heaviest barrage fired at the coastal city since the start of the war.
The military says interception attempts were made, and further details are under investigation. It does not detail how many rockets were shot down.
There are no reports of injuries in the attack, but some rockets and shrapnel reportedly fell in the city, causing damage.
