Rocket sirens sound in communities near Haifa

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in the northern communities of Kfar Hasidim and Ibtin, on the outskirts of Haifa. The IDF is looking into the cause of the alarms.

Most rocket attacks from Lebanon in recent months have been limited to towns closer to the border.

Residents of the Haifa area report seeing an interception and hearing a blast. Photos circulating on social media show a trail of smoke from an interceptor missile.
