Hezbollah rockets hit Israel’s third-largest city of Haifa early on Monday, in the first direct attack on the northern city that evaded the military’s usually reliable air defense systems.

Hezbollah said it targeted a military base south of Haifa with a salvo of “Fadi 1” missiles.

Media said two rockets hit Haifa – 27 miles from the Lebanese border – on Israel’s Mediterranean coast and five hit Tiberias 40 miles away.

Israel’s military said five rockets were launched at Haifa from Lebanon, adding, “Interceptors were fired. Fallen projectiles were identified in the area. The incident is under review.”

It said 15 other rockets were fired at Tiberias, some of them intercepted.

Police in Haifa said several buildings and properties were damaged, with several reports of minor injuries and some people taken to a nearby hospital.

Over the past few hours, the airstrikes struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the area of Beirut, the military said, adding that secondary explosions were identified following the strikes, indicating the presence of weaponry.
