SAFED (VINnews) – Hezbollah fired several rockets from Lebanon toward the northern Israeli city of Safed on Friday, causing damage to a parking lot even as the Israeli military said most were intercepted or landed in open areas, authorities reported.

No injuries were immediately reported from the strike in Safed, according to rescue services. However, Magen David Adom and local officials confirmed an impact in a parking lot that damaged vehicles and nearby infrastructure.

The Israel Defense Forces said its aerial defense systems intercepted a number of the projectiles, with others falling in open zones. Sirens sounded across Safed and surrounding Galilee communities as the attack unfolded.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the rocket fire, describing it as a response to alleged Israeli ceasefire violations and ongoing strikes in Lebanon. The group has intensified attacks on northern Israel in recent days amid heightened regional tensions following Israeli operations against Hezbollah targets.

The incident comes as Israel continues airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Rescue teams responded quickly to the Safed scene, where footage showed damaged cars and debris scattered in the parking area.

Northern Israel remains on high alert, with frequent rocket alerts. Officials urged residents to follow Home Front Command instructions and stay near protected spaces.
