A rocket attack launched from Lebanon on Saturday caused significant damage
and destruction in occupied Haifa, including power outages impacting
several parts of the area.

A number of rockets made impact in Haifa, amid the blaring of warning
sirens in the city and its surroundings, particularly in Krayot. Several
casualties were recorded in the aftermath, along with damage to buildings
and vehicles in Karmiel.

The mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav

said that the city has become a focal target for Hezbollah, which is "not
sparing them [settlers]", in light of the attack.

He further stressed that Haifa is the third largest city in occupied
Palestine, and serves as a hub for an abundance of institutions and
establishments, but remains under Hezbollah fire.

It is worth noting that Hezbollah had announced seven operations

five of which were coordinated and simultaneous, using an assortment of
assault drones and advanced rockets launched at multiple bases in occupied
Haifa.

Among the bases were the Shayetet 13 naval commando headquarters in Atlit,
south of Haifa, which was struck with a sqaudron of assault drones, the
Stella Maris Naval Base, which was targeted twice, the Haifa Technical and
Naval Bases, the Tirat Carmel Base, and for the first time, the Nesher fuel
Base.

All of the targeted bases are located between 35-40 km from the
Palestinian-Lebanese border.
