Some 65 rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel in the past hour, according to the IDF.
Shortly after 10 p.m., a barrage of 30 rockets was launched at Safed. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses. Safed officials report at least two impacts in the city that caused damage.
A 68-year-old woman was lightly wounded as a result of one of the rocket impacts in Safed, medics say. The Magen David Adom ambulance service says the woman sustained trauma from the blast. She is being taken to Ziv Hospital in the city.
Another 30 rockets were launched at around 10:20 p.m. at the Lower Galilee, some of which were also intercepted, the IDF says.
Five more rockets were launched minutes later at the Western Galilee, some of which were intercepted and others impacted open areas, according to the military.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
