On Thursday night, shortly before the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was set to take effect at midnight, the Lebanese terrorist group launched an intense barrage of attacks against northern Israel
Approximately 10 rockets and two drones were fired towards Western Galilee, including the towns of Karmiel and Nahariya.
Most of the projectiles were intercepted by Israeli defense systems, but some fell in open areas or hit targets.
In Nahariya, an impact caused several cars to catch fire.
In Karmiel, shrapnel from a rocket or interception seriously injured a 25-year-old man on a motorcycle and a 17-year-old girl.
A man in his 40s was moderately injured in Nahariya.
In total, three people were treated by the Magen David Adom emergency service, two of them in serious condition.
Shortly before the deadline, the Israeli army attacked several Hezbollah rocket launchers that had been used in attacks against the north of the country.
In the last 24 hours, Israel carried out more than 380 attacks against targets of the group in southern Lebanon, including weapons depots, command centers, and operational facilities.
The ceasefire, announced by US President Donald Trump, officially came into effect at midnight.
Despite the last-minute attacks, the Israeli army stated that it remains on high alert and ready to respond to any threat.
This was yet another episode of violence in the final hours of a conflict that has caused tens of thousands of displaced persons and deaths on both sides of the border.
Now, with the truce in effect, the hope is that the silence of the guns will continue.
