Nahariya, Akko targeted by rocket barrages
Residents of the western Galilee woke to sounds of air raid sirens, two rockets land close to 7:00 in the morning
An air raid siren was heard shortly after 7:00 on Friday morning across the western Galilee, and two rockets fired by Hizbullah landed in the Nahariya area and in Akko. There were no injuries and damage was caused.
In a deadly barrage fired on Thursday afternoon in Israel, Maryam Asadi, 26, and her five year old son, Fathi Ahmed Asadi, were killed when a rocket directly hit their house in Dir el-Asad, near Carmiel.
The woman's three year old son, and his grandmother who was also in the home, were both severely injured. Additionally, three people were lightly wounded and dozens were treated for shock.
Muhammad Ali, the first paramedic who arrived at the scene of the attack, said: "The situation was very difficult. When I arrived there was nothing left to do and there was no room for resuscitation. It's an extremely grave incident. To see a child in such a condition is horror."
