After a quiet morning with no sirens or rockets, several rockets landed Saturday afternoon in Israel 's north. According to reports, five rockets landed near Safed, one directly hitting a house in one of the communities in the areas. Magen David Adom paramedics treated five people – two were lightly injured by shrapnel and the other three suffered from shock. Ofer Zivaon, 34, who witnessed the attack, told Ynet: "A rocket struck the bedroom, the roof was totally destroyed. The windows are gone. The shower is also completely ruined. Shrapnel fell on the road. I'm a resident of the place, and this is the first time that a rocket landed here." Zivaon said that no siren preceded the attack. "No siren was heard in the community. They prefer not to activate it so as not to frighten the children. I have spent so much time in Lebanon that it doesn't scare me."
One of the rockets struck a house in Safed, and one person suffered from shock. Several other rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmona area. Police said that one person was lightly injured and two buildings sustained damages. A siren was also heard in Tiberias, but no rockets landed in the area. All the people injured in the various attacks were evacuated to the Ziv Medical Center in Safed. Friday: Khaibar-1 in Haifa On Friday, Hizbullah fired a Khaibar-1 rocket at Haifa . The explosion of the 320 mm rocket echoed as far south as Hadera, residents said.

In Kiryat Shmona, a man was moderately injured by shrapnel from a rocket that hit a building Friday afternoon, paramedics said.
