A synagogue building in the northern port city of Haifa was heavily damaged by a Hezbollah rocket strike this evening.

The building is part of the Avot Uvanim synagogue complex in Haifa’s Carmel quarter.

There were no injuries as nobody was inside the building at the time of the attack.

Ten rockets were launched from Lebanon in the attack, with the IDF reporting that some were intercepted.
