A man was moderately wounded by shrapnel amid a Hezbollah rocket barrage on northern Israel this evening, medics say.

According to the IDF, some 25 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee, Haifa Bay, and Wadi Ara areas.

Air defenses shot down most of the rockets, although some impacts were identified, the military says.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it treated a 23-year-old man who was hit in the head by shrapnel amid the attack and took himself to a clinic in Kiryat Bialik. The man was then taken to Rambam Hospital in Haifa by MDA.
