A Katyusha rocket directly struck a hospital in Nahariya on Friday, damaging an upper story. The floor in Western Galilee Hospital was empty of patients, who had been moved to an underground shelter at the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.
Two people were lightly wounded when rockets struck their homes in the Kiryat Shmona area, close to the Israel-Lebanon border.
Hezbollah launched 105 Katyusha rockets at northern Israel on Friday, five striking as far south as the Afula area – the first time that the Jezreel Valley has been hit in a week.
Hezbollah later said it fired a new rocket, called Khaibar-1, which fell in the Afula area. Police said Friday that this kind of missile has not landed in the area before. Israel Air Force jets later destroyed the launchers used to fire the missiles at Israel.
Six rockets were launched at Tiberias and four at Nahariya.
In Safed, a Magen David Adom center was severely damaged in a direct hit.
Four rockets landed in the Galilee panhandle, and four in open areas near Rosh Pina and in the Hula Valley.
Rockets also landed in the Safed, Tiberias and Carmiel areas, landing in open areas and causing no injuries.
On Thursday, Hezbollah militants fired more than 100 Katyusha rockets at the north. Some 25 rockets landed in and around Kiryat Shmona and the rest landed across the Galilee and Hula Valley.
Thirteen people were lightly wounded in strikes on Carmiel, Majdal Krum, Kiryat Shmona, and the Rosh Pina area, and 16 people were treated for shock.
Buildings, cars, roads and water pipes were badly damaged in the attacks. One rocket hit a house, another hit a chemical factory, and a third hit an educational facility. A firefighter was lightly hurt while putting out fires.
Three Katyushas hit Yesod Hama’ala, lightly wounding a woman and damaging property. Eleven rockets landed in the Rosh Pina area and eight fell near Safed, causing no casualties or damage. Four rockets aimed at Tiberias landed in open areas.
Several rockets hit empty houses in Carmiel and Majdal Krum. A house in Nahariya was hit, but most of the rockets in the area landed in open spaces. A house in Peki’in and a water tower in Kfar Vradim were also struck.
Rockets also landed in Ma’alot-Tarshiha and Rosh Hanikra. In Granot, a resident was lightly wounded by shrapnel.
Several rockets fell in open areas, causing fires to break out.
More than 3000 Katyushas have hit northern Israel since the start of the fighting. The Health Ministry announced that 1,733 people have been treated at hospitals throughout the North, mostly for shock and anxiety attacks. Ninety-eight people remain hospitalized, 10 in serious condition, 36 in moderate condition and 52 with light injuries.
Another 26 people have been seriously injured, 36 have suffered moderate injuries and 319 have been lightly hurt. A total of 595 people have been treated for shock.
