A rocket fired by Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists scored a direct hit in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya on Tuesday afternoon, killing two people, the Magen David Adom emergency-response group said.
“MDA medics and paramedics report two wounded in their 40s with no signs of life and pronounce them dead,” the group said in a statement.
In addition, two people in their 30s sustained light wounds from rocket shrapnel in Kibbutz Kabri in the Western Galilee. Both victims were evacuated to Nahariya’s Galilee Medical Center for treatment.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, approximately 10 rockets were fired from Lebanon in the barrage across the northern border. Only some of the projectiles were intercepted, the military noted.

Air-raid sirens were simultaneously activated in Israel’s densely-populated central region, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed.
“Following the alerts that were activated in several areas in the center of the country, the Air Force intercepted three launches that crossed [into Israel] from Lebanon,” the military announced in a statement on X.
Rocket alerts were activated in the central Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Petach Tikvah, as well as in major population centers in the Sharon region, including Herzliya, Ra’anana and Kfar Saba, sending millions running for shelter, according to the IDF Home Front Command.
Earlier on Tuesday, a Hezbollah suicide drone exploded in the yard of a kindergarten in the Haifa suburb of Nesher on Tuesday, with no injuries reported and the impact causing minor damage to the structure.
The IDF reported that, although warning alerts for a hostile aircraft infiltration were sounded in Haifa Bay, the Western and Upper Galilee, no sirens were activated in the city. They added that the incident is under investigation.
The IDF confirmed that the event had concluded after one UAV that crossed from Lebanon crashed into the Nesher area.
Channel 12 reported that despite no sirens sounding in Nesher, teachers decided to evacuate the children to a protected area anyway, thereby saving their lives.
Footage from the scene shows extensive damage to the yard, with the person taking video of the aftermath saying, “What destruction; it was a miracle.”
Nesher Mayor Roey Levi stated, “There was an impact near the kindergarten, but no alert was sounded, and we are working with the Home Front Command to understand why. Thankfully, there were no physical injuries. We contacted the children’s parents and moved them to another kindergarten.”
Meanwhile, Lebanese media reported Israeli strikes in Beirut after the IDF issued evacuation orders for 11 buildings in the capital’s southern suburbs.
