Several people in the West Bank city of Tulkarm were wounded following the projectiles that were fired from Lebanon toward central and northern Israel on Sunday evening in a dual barrage, Army Radio reported. 

After the barrages, Magen David Adom (MDA) announced that there had been no reports of casualties and teams had been dispatched to scan various locations for wounded. Israel Police said they also scanned areas to locate sites where debris from the rocket interception may have hit. 

Hezbollah fired around 250 rockets throughout the day on Sunday, setting off around 500 rocket sirens in one of its largest attacks in months, as ceasefire talks continue and shortly after various Israeli officials have said the group’s capabilities are plummeting.

During the evening barrage in central Israel at approximately 6:00 p.m., one projectile was intercepted by the Israel Air Force, the IDF said. It added that another projectile hit an open area after sirens sounded in the central areas of Sharon and Menashe. 

Additionally, during the barrage that targeted northern Israel, the IDF said that two projectiles that crossed into Israel hit open areas.

Earlier barrages

During a previous barrage on Sunday afternoon, the IDF struck a rocket launcher in Lebanon that fired projectiles toward Israel's Haifa area, Israel's military announced. 

Later, during another barrage, at 6:00 p.m., the IDF said that two projectiles that crossed into Israel from Lebanon landed in open areas. 

This follows the IDF announcement that between 3:30 pm and 3:35, approximately 25 projectiles were identified as crossing into Israel from Lebanon following the sirens that sounded in the areas of Western Galilee, Upper Galilee, and Haifa area.

Additionally, the IDF noted that the sirens that sounded at approximately 3.45 p.m. in the Western Galilee area were determined to be a false identification.
