Numerous Hezbollah rockets attacked Haifa, Israel, after air defenses failed to stop most of them from landing.

Haifa is around 234 miles south of Beirut, Lebanon.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the attack injured nine people:

Eight people were evacuated to Rambam Health Care Campus for medical treatment following the rocket attack, Israeli media reported. all

Of the people evacuated for medical treatment, a 13-year-old kid suffered light injuries, another two suffered moderate injuries from broken glass, three suffered light injuries from broken glass, two were lightly injured on their way to a protected area, and one suffered from anxiety.

Additionally, according to Israeli media, a 22-year-old person was severely injured from shrapnel and was evacuated to the Tzafon Medical Center for medical treatment.

The IDF has already started investigating how the air defenses failed:

The IDF says it is investigating, after it failed to intercept a barrage of five rockets launched from Lebanon at Haifa this evening.

“Interception attempts were made,” the IDF says, adding that several rocket impacts were identified in the area.

“The incident is being investigated,” it says.

Footage from Haifa showed that a traffic circle in the northern coastal city was damaged by a direct rocket impact.

Separately, another 15 rockets were fired at the Kiryat Shmona area, some of which were intercepted by air defenses and others impacted the area, the military adds.

Israel Hits Hezbollah

Israel hit Hezbollah facilities in Beirut after warning residents to evacuate.

Hezbollah also complained that Israel constantly targeting members has hampered the terrorist organization’s ability to perform a search and rescue:

Israel is obstructing search and rescue efforts in an area where senior Hezbollah leader Hashem Safieddine is thought to have been when Israel bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs on Thursday, a Hezbollah official says.

Safieddine is seen as a likely successor to former terror leader Hassan Nasrallah who was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, on September 27.

His fate remains unclear.

The senior Hezbollah political official, Mahmoud Qmati, also says he had no information on reports that the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force Esmail Qaani has not been heard from since the strikes on Beirut late last week.

Israel should “let rescue teams do their work,” he tells Iraqi state television.

When Hezbollah fires rockets at Israel, it is only logical that Israel targets Hezbollah members.

That Hezbollah has fired rockets at Haifa indicates that someone in the organization can still make decisions. Has Israel found out where the rockets were fired?

Even with this failure, the overall failure rate for their various missile shield systems is incredibly low. Still, when they see a cluster of failures during the same event, it’s understandable why they would be concerned and determined to identify a cause. They definitely want to understand if it was indeed a failure of some kind or if it’s Hamas exploiting an unknown weakness in their defenses.
