Haifa train depot hit again

VIDEO - North under fire again: Three rockets landed Tuesday afternoon in Haifa, one falling very close to the train garage where eight people were killed on Sunday, and caused some damage. The other two rockets landed in open areas. No injuries were reported. The Haifa police reported that the rocket that hit the industrial zone had a smaller caliber than rockets fired at the city so far. Yitzhak Farid, a manager near the railways, told Ynet the rocket fell soon after an official visited: "The minute we entered the protected area, the second rocket fell dozens of meters from the first landing site and in the same building. This time no one was injured." Workers complained that the state has deserted them. "On the one hand they want us to come to work because it is an essential job, and on the other hand rockets are falling with no warning." One of the rockets that landed in Haifa caused a brushfire in the southern part of the city. Six firefighting crews were sent to the area and were able to put out the fire.

Additionally, several rockets landed in open fields south of the town and caused a few fires. Two firefighters were injured from inhaling smoke. On other landing sites, seven residents were treated for shock by Magen David Adom paramedics. Yehudit, a Haifa resident, told Ynet the siren was sounded after the rockets had landed. "My son called saying he had heard explosions in the city and told me to enter the shelter urgently. I ran downstairs and only then the siren started," she said. Haifa residents said that's not the first time that sirens are activated belatedly. Clients at a Haifa cafe on the Carmel hills were unaffected by the siren and explosions. "I am not going down to the shelter. They can kiss my ass. What bothers me is that the city is being deserted day by day. I sent my wife and children for a holiday in Bat Yam but I stayed cause I am not scared," said Aryeh.

Fire broke out in a field as a result and firefighters were dispatched to the place to extinguish it. Another rocket barrage landed north of Nahariya causing no injuries or damage. Warning sirens were also heard across Tiberias, out of concern for an imminent rocket attack, however no rockets fell on the city. Earlier, sirens were heard across Haifa and its neighboring towns, as well as in Akko and the communities of the Maale Yosef and Mateh Asher regional councils. The residents were ordered into shelters. About an hour later an alarm went off in Hatzor Haglilit. In Nahariya, residents who were on a two-hour break aimed at allowing them to stock up on food staples, were instructed to return into shelters as well. 30 injured Monday On Monady evening, sirens sounded in the eastern Galilee, Rosh Pina, Carmiel and Safed once again, and rocket barrages were fired towards communities in the eastern Galilee and Upper Galilee, wounding 30 people. One of the casualties was in moderate condition, and the rest were treated for light wounds and shock. Hizbullah continued to fire rockets at Israel's north throughout Monday night. Rockets were launched at the Hazor Haglilit area at about 2 p.m., and another rocket landed about an hour and-a-half later in the Nahariya area. No injuries or damage were reported in any of the incidents. A barrage hit a medical center in the Galilee, and windows shattered in the resulting shock waves. Deputy head of the medical center told Ynet, “The rocket hit infrastructure, water pipes. The top floor was evacuated and moved to the lower floor. Fourteen employees suffered shock. Another rocket hit a sensitive facility and two people were lightly wounded. A fire broke out in Maalot following a rocket hit, and fire fighting crews were working to extinguish it.
