The IDF says the majority of the approximately 85 rockets fired by Hezbollah at Haifa half an hour ago were successfully intercepted by air defenses.
But some rockets impacted the area, the IDF says, causing damage in the Haifa suburbs of Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Motzkin according to police.
The military adds that there is no change in guidelines for civilians at this stage.
