Rockets hit Hadera, coastal region
Rockets fired from Gaza hit Israel’s coastal plain, as well as the city of Hadera, located between Haifa and Tel Aviv.
Hadera, which lies in the Haifa district, was hit by three rockets launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006. At the time, this was the farthest point in Israel that Hezbollah was able to hit.
This evening, the city becomes the farthest point in Israel that Hamas rockets have been able to reach.
