Several people in the West Bank city of Tulkarm were wounded following the projectiles that were fired from Lebanon toward central and northern Israel on Sunday evening in a dual barrage, Army Radio reported. 

After the barrages, Magen David Adom (MDA) announced that there had been no reports of casualties and teams had been dispatched to scan various locations for wounded.

Police have also begun scanning areas to locate sites where debris from the rocket interception may have hit, Israel Police said. 

During the evening barrage in central Israel at approximately 6:00 p.m., one projectile was intercepted by the Israel Air Force, the IDF said. It added that another projectile hit an open area after sirens sounded in the central areas of Sharon and Menashe. 

Additionally, during the barrage that targeted northern Israel, the IDF said that two projectiles that crossed into Israel hit open areas.
