No one was injured in the attack, and the IDF announced shortly afterwards that Air Force planes succeeded in destroying the launcher that fired the missiles.
Police said that each rocket carried 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of explosives.
The Hizbullah terrorist organization announced that the rocket is called Khaibar-1 and has a range of 50 kilometers (31 miles), which would put the missiles within striking range of Netanya. Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah earlier this week threatened to escalate the war and strike Netanya, located on the Mediterranean Coast between Haifa and Tel Aviv.
The Galilee was bombarded with more than 90 rockets Friday, most of them in the late afternoon hours as families were preparing for the Sabbath, which begins at sundown.
The attack sent one person in Tzfat to a Tel Aviv Hospital with serious wounds, and three soldiers and two civilians in the Upper Galilee suffered light injuries. Dozens of others were treated for shock. At least two homes and one parked car were severely damaged.
The IDF continued to pound Hizbullah posts and institutions Friday, knocking out six rocket launchers and striking six buildings used by Hizbullah terrorists or supporters. Planes also bombed five ammunition and weapons depots and two Hizbullah bases.
