Three Israelis were wounded after Hezbollah fired hundreds of rockets and missiles at northern Israel, in virtually non-stop barrages that began overnight Saturday.

A rocket was said to have directly struck a residential neighborhood in Kiryat Bialik, a suburb of Haifa, with four people wounded by the blast.

Hezbollah’s terrorism targets civilians.

One was reported to be in moderate condition, while the third was listed as being in good condition. All of the victims were transported to a local hospital for medical treatments.

Footage circulating on social media from the impact site showed at least two cars on fire, along with extensive damage to homes, including partial structural collapses.

A Hezbollah rocket directly struck a home in Moreshet, a moshav in northern Israel. No injuries were reported in that incident.

A video taken in Nazareth depicted a large fire – believed to be caused by a rocket impact – in an open area, likely a public park – inside of the city.

Elsewhere in northern Israel, numerous people reported damage to their vehicles, such as shattered windshields and roofs damaged by shrapnel.

A 17-year-old was killed in a car accident near the Bedouin town of Zarzir, in an incident which was linked to the Hezbollah barrages.

According to Magen David Adom paramedics, the teen had been driving when air raid sirens suddenly began wailing. He panicked, lost control of his vehicle, and tragically died in the ensuing accident.

The Hezbollah barrages marked a major escalation by the terror group, which had mostly targeted communities in northern Israel directly adjacent to the border with Lebanon.

But the barrages early Sunday morning targeted all areas of Israel’s north, including its largest city, Haifa, and its environs, along with the Upper and Lower Galilee, Tiberias area, and the Jezreel Valley.

Some of the Hezbollah rockets reached Israeli airspace some 105 kilometers (65 miles) south of the Israel-Lebanon border.
