The northern city of Kiryat Shmona has urged any remaining residents to leave as it continues to be targeted by rockets from Lebanon.
“Due to the escalating security situation and increased barrages on Kiryat Shmona, we call on all who remain in the city to leave it immediately,” it says.
“Leave the city and save lives!” the municipality adds.
The vast majority of the city’s 20,000 or so residents have already left amid attacks by Hezbollah and other terror groups. But Ynet says some 3,000 are estimated to remain.
