2 seriously hurt in rocket attack

VIDEO - A massive barrage of 25 rockets hit Israel's northern communities Saturday evening. Two people were seriously injured in the attacks, one sustained moderate wounds and the others were lightly hurt. A 40 year-old woman was seriously injured when a rocket directly hit her Safed home. One of the woman's children sustained moderate wounds, while her husband and second child escaped with only light injuries. A Carmiel resident sustained serious injuries after rockets fell on the town. A massive barrage of 10 rockets within five minutes hit Nahariya. One person was moderately injured and a girl sustained light injuries. At least 11 other people were treated for shock. Aadditional barrages landed in Carmiel and the Safed area, as well as in Rosh Pina and Hatzor Haglilit. One of the Katyushas that landed in Carmiel directly hit a vehicle. It is unclear at the moment whether the local man hurt in the attack was in the car at the time the rocket struck, or if he was nearby and hurt by shrapnel. A Magen David Adom team evacuated the man to the Nahariya hospital. MDA Director-General Eli Bin, who arrived at the place shortly after the strike, said: "It appears as if the car sustained a direct hit, the entire vehicle is in pieces. The teams that were dispatched to the place provided assistance in this and in other scenes." A Nahariya building that had already been hit once this week, weas struck again Saturday. A resident of a nearby building, Yavgeni, told Ynet: "This is the fourth time that rockets have landed in our neighborhood, and the second time the same building is being hit. It's only a miracle no one was killed. My family and two other families are planning on leaving town today. I hope that the IDF kicks Hizbullah's butt and enable us to return home safely within a few days." Day of rockets Some 150 rockets landed in Israel throughout Saturday in massive barrages targeting many northern communities. The last rocket barrage landed in and around Nahariya at about 6:45 p.m. another barrage hit Safed.
