Some of the wounded are in serious condition. As rescue teams search pulled survivors out of the ruined building in Bat Galim another rocket volley hit the city. Sunday, the first rocket attack from Lebanon killed 8 Israeli civilians at a railway depot Sunday.

The midday Monday barrage from Lebanon spread across Western Galilee – hitting the main northern Israeli towns of Tiberias, Safed, Carmiel, Nahariya as well as Golan heights. Four people suffered minor injuries. Two houses were badly damaged.

First Katyusha rockets fell Sunday night in Afula, Shimshit, Givat Ha’leh, and Natzrat Ilit - the deepest rocket strikes so far. At Shomera near the Lebanese border, a rocket started a blaze. Fifteen people hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
