JERUSALEM: Israel’s army said two people were injured when a synagogue was hit Saturday in the northern coastal city of Haifa following a “heavy rocket barrage” by Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
“This is yet another clear example of Hezbollah’s deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians,” the military said in a statement. Separately, the army said it had intercepted some of “approximately 10 projectiles” that crossed from Lebanon into Israel.
