Rockets hit central Israel, eleven injured, several rescued from damaged building

Several people were injured after sirens sounded in central Israel early on Saturday morning, according to Israeli media.

Sirens sounded across central Israel in Herzilya, Ranana, Kfar Saba, and Tira.

The IDF said three rockets crossed into Israel's territory from Lebanon. They confirmed that two rockets were intercepted, and one rocket hit Israeli territory.

N12 reported that several people were trapped in a building in Tira, and around five firefighting teams had been called to the scene. Around eight people were rescued from the building, of which several were injured.

Several people injured

Magen David Adom reported eleven injuries, all of which were evacuated to Meir and Bellinson Medical Centers.

Three were moderately injured, including a 17-year-old boy and a 28-year-old woman who the MDA evacuated to the hospital; the third person arrived at the hospital independently.

Eight people were lightly injured, including a 21-year-old man, a 16-year-old boy, and a 22-year-old woman, as well as a 20-year-old man with shrapnel injuries and a 48-year-old woman injured by broken glass.

Additionally, seven others were treated for anxiety at the scene.

Central District Police are continuing to search for any additional damage in the area as well as isolate strike sites in the area.

Tira is a predominantly Arab town, making it the second Arab town in a week to be hit by Hezbollah's rockets.

Two people were killed in the town of Majd al-Krum last week, sparking fierce debate over racist rhetoric.

MK Ahmad Tibi demanded the attorney-general open an investigation into incitement to murder and racism following hundreds of online comments celebrating their deaths.
