On Wednesday, about 40 rockets were identified that flew from Lebanon toward the Upper Galilee and Haifa Bay, killing two people in Kiryat Shmona, MDA said. According to the IDF, 20 of the 40 rockets were discovered during a barrage on Kiryat Shmona.

All three wounded were hit by shrapnel, one of them is a 16-year-old in moderate condition and another is about 50 years old and suffering from minor wounds, MDA reported.

Eight people were taken to the Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa for medical treatment, one of whom was in serious condition and the rest suffering from minor wounds.

In addition to those taken for medical treatment, another person was injured in a motorcycle accident with the siren on and is in moderate condition.

Israeli police and Northern District bomb squads operated in the Kiryat Shmona area after the barrage and confirmed the deaths of the man and woman there.

In their statement, police urged the public not to be near areas with shrapnel and rocket remnants amid fears they may still contain explosive material.
