One soldier was killed, and several were hospitalized from rocket fire in northern Israel on Wednesday morning as Hezbollah ramped up its attacks on Israeli cities, the IDF stated.
“A short while ago, numerous launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into the areas of Netu’a, Manara, and into an IDF base in northern Israel,” the military said in a statement. “The IDF struck the sources of the fire. As a result of the launches, an IDF soldier was killed, and several other IDF soldiers were injured. The soldiers were evacuated for medical treatment at a hospital, their families have not yet been informed.”
Sirens were heard in Safed, Meron, and across the Upper Western Galilee as a barrage of rockets struck.
After initial reports of a direct hit in Safed, Magen David Adom (MDA) stated they were providing medical aid to seven people – one in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and six in light condition. The wounded were transferred to Ziv Medical Center in Safed.
Mateh Asher Regional Council head Moshe Davidovitz stated, “The north this morning is under a flood of missiles. I suggest the government and its leader wake up. The head of the Radwan Force spits on us time and time again, and we think it’s rain. I repeat: without security, there is no north!'”
Davidovitz has previously stated that the northern residents feel abandoned by Israel’s government amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas War and the actions of Hezbollah.
Two people were wounded in Kiryat Shmona on Tuesday after a direct rocket hit landed.

Hezbollah says will only stop when ‘Israeli aggression’ in Gaza ends
The head of Lebanon’s powerful armed group Hezbollah said on Tuesday that his faction’s cross-border shelling into Israel would only end when Israel’s “aggression” on the Gaza Strip stops.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah threatened to displace more residents from northern Israel, where tens of thousands have already been evacuated from months of Hezbollah rocket fire, and said that if Israel’s military widened the war his group would do the same.
