At least five people were injured overnight in the northern Israeli city of Haifa in a barrage of rockets launched from Lebanon as Hezbollah and Israel traded attacks with IDF warplanes striking across Lebanon.

Hezbollah missiles landed in Haifa for the first time on Monday, prompting a swift response from the Israeli military.

The northern Israeli port city of Haifa was hit by about five rockets fired by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah late on Sunday, causing damage and injuring eight people, Israeli authorities say. The Israeli military said it was investigating how its air defences failed to intercept the rockets.
