A Hezbollah rocket hit a factory in the Galilee, wounding a 51-year-old woman, Israeli media reported on Sunday morning. Fire crews are currently tackling flames at the scene and searching for those who may be trapped in the structure.

The woman, who is in light condition, was evacuated to Galil Medical Center in Nahariya after suffering shrapnel injuries to her lower limbs. 

MDA emergency medic Eran Binyamini said, "We arrived at the scene very quickly and joined a 51-year-old woman who was in the parking lot while she was fully conscious and suffering from a shrapnel injury in her lower body. We gave her initial medical treatment in the field and then evacuated her in an MDA ambulance to the hospital as she was in a minor condition."

Following the sirens that sounded across northern and central Israel on Sunday morning, the IDF confirmed that Hezbollah fired rockets from Lebanon into Israeli territory. 

The sirens sounded as far south as Herzliya.
