Haifa's skies witnessed a dramatic missile exchange as Israel's Iron Dome successfully intercepted five rockets launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon. The rockets were aimed at the Haifa Bay area, causing alarm sirens to blare from Haifa to eastward Caesarea early in the morning after a single rocket had been fired from Lebanon.
According to Hebrew media reports, Hezbollah's salvos on Friday were particularly focused on sensitive industrial zones in Haifa and its surrounding bay, escalating tensions in the region.
