The Lebanese militant organization Hezbollah launched more than 50 rockets and drones targeting Israel’s Upper Galilee region Tuesday evening, leaving three people wounded and causing damage to the area, according to emergency officials. The northern assault occurred hours after separate Iranian attacks struck central Israel earlier in the day, injuring at least nine additional people.
Israeli emergency medical service Magen David Adom reported that debris from the evening bombardment landed close to a residential structure on a kibbutz. Among the three people who sustained minor injuries was a 6-year-old child. Medical personnel transported two of the victims to a local medical facility for care.
The evening rocket barrage came after morning launches from Iran that included cluster munitions hitting various targets, resulting in casualties and structural damage across central Israel.
In the city of Bnei Brak, six individuals suffered minor injuries from the blast impacts, including one woman who was wounded by flying glass shards. First responders pulled a mother and her two children to safety after part of a building’s roof caved in during the attack. Three other people were also hurt at that same location.
Tuesday’s events represented an escalation of violence affecting both Israel’s northern border region and its central areas, with emergency crews dispatched to numerous locations throughout the targeted zones.
