Ten people were seriously, moderately and lightly injured on Sunday evening from shrapnel at several locations in the city of Haifa and Tiberias as a result of a barrage launched from Lebanon.
Magen David Adom paramedics treated the victims and evacuated them to Poria Hospital in Tiberias and Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
Among the injured are a 22-year-old man from Tiberias who was seriously injured, a 13-year-old boy who was moderately injured by shrapnel, a 73-year-old man and a 22-year-old man who were moderately injured by glass shards, three lightly injured from glass shards, two who were lightly injured while making their way to shelter, and one person who suffered from anxiety.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that “approximately five projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon towards Haifa and the area. Interceptors were fired. Fallen projectiles were identified in the area. The incident is under review.”
“In addition,” the IDF said, “approximately 15 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon towards the upper Galilee area. Some of the projectiles were intercepted, and others were identified falling in the area.”
Firefighters from the Haifa station are searching several scenes where rockets and fragments of interceptions fell in the city.
Residents of Haifa reported a direct hit near the Maxim restaurant, where a suicide attack occurred during the second intifada, 21 years ago, in which 21 people were murdered.
Tal Rosen, a paramedic from United Hatzalah, said, "I provided first aid at the scene to four victims (aged 30-70) who were hit by shrapnel in Haifa. At this stage, their condition is classified as moderate and light to moderate."
