One Israeli has been killed and others injured in a series of barrages from southern Lebanon Saturday, Israeli emergency services say.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a total of 150 launches from southern Lebanon on Saturday had been detected.
One person was killed in Acre, northern Israel. Paramedics said the 50-year-old man was hit by shrapnel while sitting in his car.
Another person injured by shrapnel at the same location was evacuated in moderate condition to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.
Cross-border attacks have intensified in recent weeks but Israeli fatalities are rare.
A barrage aimed at the city of Haifa damaged a home in Kiryat Ata, according to emergency services.
Ten people in the area had been taken to the hospital. Three people suffered shrapnel injuries, while others were suffering from shock.
Following damage to an open road in the Western Galilee, four people were referred to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, including a man who was in moderate condition with shrapnel injuries.
In a tragic turn of events, one Israeli lost their life and several others were injured in southern Lebanon on Saturday due to a series of barrages. The Israel Defense Forces reported detecting 150 launches from southern Lebanon on the same day.
The fatal incident occurred in Acre, northern Israel, where a 50-year-old man was struck by shrapnel while in his car, resulting in his death. Another individual at the scene sustained injuries from shrapnel and was evacuated for treatment.
Despite recent escalations in cross-border attacks, Israeli fatalities are uncommon. The attack also caused damage to a home in Kiryat Ata, with multiple individuals requiring medical attention for injuries and shock.
As tensions persist in the region, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflicts and the toll they take on innocent lives.
