Hizbullah continues to fire rockets at Israel: After sustaining numerous rocket attacks throughout Friday, Israel's northern communities came under fire again Friday evening.
One rocket directly hit a residential building, lightly injuring six people and causing ten more to suffer from shock. Another rocket struck a school in town, causing substantial damage but no injuries.
Additional rockets landed near Ma'alot and in the Nahariya area.
105 rockets since morning
Earlier rockets landed in and around Nahariya. Three of the rockets fell in open areas, one hit a parked vehicle and another one struck the local hospital in town. The rocket hit the fourth floor in one of the hospital's building, smashing the shutters and parts of the aluminum covering the walls completely fell apart.
Luckily, the building was vacant at the time of the attack, since all patients and medical teams were transferred to an underground facility when the fighting in the region began.

Firefighters have also struggled to contain the fires that broke out in the Afula area after long-range missiles were launched at the town at about 3 p.m.
In an earlier barrage on Safed, one person was seriously injured. The man was initially evacuated to the Ziv Hospital in town and later transferred to the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv.
The police reported that since the morning hours 105 rockets landed in Israel's territory. The strikes injured 42 people, including four that sustained moderate wounds and 12 that were lightly injured. The rest were treated for shock.
