A simultaneous wave of missiles struck Tzfat and Nahariya at around 7:30 PM. Tzfat resident Nitzan Rosban was killed in the attack and twenty people were injured.



As the 8 PM news programs began and Israelis prepared to break the Fast of the 17th of Tamuz, two long-range missiles struck Haifa's Stella Maris neighborhood - though no injuries resulted.



Throughout Thursday, nearly 100 Katyusha missiles were fired at various towns and cities in northern Israel, injuring 90 people and killing two. 25 people remain hospitalized and northern residents are preparing to spend the Sabbath in their bomb shelters and safe-rooms.



Friday morning, missiles were fired at Tzfat, Kibbutz Baram and Rosh Pina, failing to cause any injuries.










Eleven people were wounded lightly by shrapnel in the latest attack on Nahariya. One rocket hit a multi-level apartment house and a second destroyed a house. Residents have been ordered to remain in shelters and a small fire raged for over an hour in one of the town's parks.



Rockets also hit Rosh Pina and Hatzor. Residents of northern Israel were instructed to spend the night in bomb shelters, while residents in the Haifa region were instructed, due to lack of shelters, to find rooms with no outside walls or windows to sleep in.



Hizbullah is thought to have over 13,000 missiles ready to fire at the Jewish State, including rockets from Iran capable of striking as far south as Be'er Sheva. The missiles are Zelzal-2s - a new version of the Zelzal-1 missiles that Iran displayed at a military parade in September 2005 in Tehran.



Hizbullah announced Friday that it was poised to strike Haifa again at any moment.



Northern residents will hold a demonstration in front of the defense ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv at 2:30 PM Friday to demand the government hit the Hizbullah harder in order to prevent further missile attacks.
