Earlier today (Wednesday), around 65 rocket launches were launched toward Kiryat Shmona and other communities in northern Israel. The attacks occurred in two separate barrages, causing numerous impacts in the region. Some of the rockets were intercepted, while others landed in open fields.

Reports indicate a person suffering from shock near Dishon. Firefighters were dispatched to three impact sites, and there were reports of damage to buildings, though no injuries were recorded. Following the barrage, a fire broke out near the Roaring Lion monument in Tel Hai.
The mayor of Kiryat Shmona, Avihay Stern, spoke about the situation in an interview with Galei Tzahal (Israeli Army Radio): "I don't want to hear more talk, I want to see action. If the Prime Minister wants people to return and settle this region, no one will agree to be cannon fodder or live like sheep to the slaughter. No agreement will restore security, just as no previous agreement has prevented rocket fire. It's absurd that since October 8 Israel has been experiencing attacks from Lebanon and is doing nothing to stop them."
