Police say a family were saved by listening to instructions and going into their safe room when their home in the northern town of Rosh Pina suffered a direct hit from a Hezbollah rocket.

The Magen David Adom rescue service says the four members of the family were treated for acute anxiety at the scene and did not require hospitalization.

The rocket punches a hole in their living room.

“Remember that the discipline of civilians saves lives,” police say. “Obey the instructions from the Home Front Command, police, and other rescue services.”

Hezbollah fired more than 100 rockets into Israel today as the Air Force launched extensive strikes against the terror group.

Earlier, an IDF reservist was moderately wounded by shrapnel during a rocket barrage at the Mount Carmel area, south of Haifa.

In another attack on areas east of Haifa, shrapnel from an intercepted rocket lightly wounded a 58-year-old woman, medics said.

Throughout the morning Hezbollah rockets fell in the Galilee Panhandle, areas east and south of Haifa, the Jezreel Valley, the Lower Galilee, and the cities of Afula and Nazareth.

A barrage of 50 rockets also pounded the northern border town of Kiryat Shmona and surrounding areas. Municipal warehouses were among the locations hit in Kiryat Shmona, local authorities said.

At least one building caught fire, sending thick black smoke into the air.

A rocket also exploded on the road between Tamra and Kabul in northern Israel.
