ALBAWABA - An intense rocket fire from southern Lebanon caused sirens to sound in almost twenty towns and localities in the northern Golan and Upper Galilee. There have apparently been many fires started by the strikes.
The Israeli Defense Forces said that around fifty rockets were launched in the direction of Safed. Some of them fell into unpopulated regions, but the majority were intercepted by the Iron Dome defensive system.
The Upper Galilee, Mount Meron, and Safed were the targets of the intensive rocket barrage, according to Israeli media sources. In the middle region of southern Lebanon, intercepting missiles were seen exploding over border communities.
Many people were alarmed when the sirens in Safed and other towns and villages near the northern border went out. Following the incident, "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that flames broke out in many parts of Safed.
