Hezbollah takes responsibility for the rocket fire that killed a man and a woman in Kiryat Shmona, with the terror group claiming to have targeted a “gathering of Israeli enemy forces” in the mostly evacuated border city.
However, Hebrew media reports indicate that those killed were a couple out on a walk with their dogs.
The Fire and Rescue Service says the impacts have started fires in several buildings in the city, with five teams working to put them out.
