A house in Safed was hit by a rocket fired from Lebanon, Israeli media reported on Wednesday. 

Alerts were triggered in Safed as a result of dozens of rockets fired towards the city.

The Israel Police announced that they received a report on Wednesday afternoon that a number of crashes were detected in Safed and the surrounding areas. They stated that two crashes were detected, but no casualties were reported. 

This follows the earlier rocket barrage fired by Hezbollah at Israel, including at the areas of Upper Galilee and Haifa Bay. Two people were killed in Kiryat Shmona, and eight others were wounded and evacuated to the Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa for medical treatment.

In response, the IDF attacked and destroyed the rocket launcher from which the rockets were fired and fell in Kiryat Shmona, the military said later on Wednesday. 

According to the IDF, approximately 90 rockets and projectiles were detected as crossing from Lebanon, some of which were intercepted by the Israel Air Force, and the rest fell in open areas. Crashes were detected in multiple areas. 

Firefighters from the Fire and Rescue Authority worked to put out fires that broke out in the area.
