Some 85 rockets were launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon at northern Israel this morning, according to the IDF. This follows several barrages overnight.

The military says that some of the rockets were intercepted, while some impacted Kiryat Bialik, near Haifa, and Moreshet, a community in the Lower Galilee.

A rocket impact in Kiryat Bialik injured three people and caused damage.

Hezbollah claimed to have targeted a Rafael defense firm facility in the Haifa area.
