Two people were killed in a rocket attack near Kiryat Ata, outside of Haifa, the Magen David Adom rescue service says.
The two, a woman in her 60s and a man around 30, are declared dead after being found in an agricultural area near Gilam Junction, according to first responders.
A third person, a man in his 70s, is transported to a hospital with light injuries.
The three were injured by rocket shrapnel following an attack on the area just before 3:15 p.m.
