The city of Kiryat Shmona says a mother and her teen son injured in a rocket attack yesterday remain in serious but stable condition.

Heli Saada, 47, and Idan Saada, 15, are still in the ICU at Rambam Hospital, intubated and in an induced coma. The hospital plans to try to remove them from ventilators later in the day, the municipality reports in an update.

The mother and son hail from Elifelet, a small community east of Safed. It is not clear what they were doing in Kiryat Shmona, which has been largely evacuated, during the rocket attack.
