JNS.org – Three people were wounded by a Hezbollah rocket in Tamra in northern Israel on Sunday. The Lebanese terror group launched some 75 rockets at the Galilee region.

According to the Magen David Adom emergency service, the victims were transported to Rambam Hospital. A 57-year-old woman was in serious but stable condition with chest and limb injuries, while a 21-year-old woman and 13-year-old girl were listed as being in mild condition due to smoke inhalation.

The Israel Police said that Northern District officers and bomb disposal units were conducting searches at the impact site to make sure there was no further risk to the public.

“Following the sirens that sounded between 12:31 and 12:33 in the Upper and Central Galilee areas, approximately 75 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the Israel Defense Forces said, adding that some of the rockets were intercepted.

Meanwhile, sirens continued to sound in northern Israel in the afternoon hours, with a drone being shot down over the Western Galilee.

Earlier in the day, two people were injured when a Hezbollah drone hit a building in the Bar Lev industrial zone near Acre. A factory belonging to the BAZ aviation components firm was reportedly hit. The company reportedly manufactures aerospace metal components for both civilian and military clients.

MDA said that the victims of the attack were a 61-year-old man in light condition with shrapnel wounds to his chest and a 31-year-old man in light condition with shrapnel wounds to his hand.

Israel eliminates Hezbollah commander

The Israeli Air Force on Friday struck and eliminated Hezbollah terrorist Ahmed Jafar Maatouk, commander of the Bint Jbeil area in Lebanon, the IDF said on Sunday. On Saturday, the IAF struck and eliminated his successor. Hezbollah’s head of artillery in the Bint Jbeil area was also eliminated in the strike, according to the IDF.

“These terrorists directed and carried out numerous terror attacks from the Bint Jbeil area including launching anti-tank missiles toward Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon,” the IDF said.

“The IDF will continue to operate against Hezbollah terrorists and commanders in defense of the citizens of Israel.”
