An IDF soldier was killed and eight people were injured a little after 9 a.m. on Wednesday after Hezbollah launched a heavy barrage of rockets at northern Israel and several rockets fell in and near Tzfas.
There were direct rocket hits in the industrial area of southern Tzfas as well as on the IDF base in the northern part of the city.
The killed soldier was identified as 20-year-old Staff Sgt. Omer Sarah Benjo, of the 91st Division’s 869th Combat Intelligence Collection unit.
Additionally, the military said that a reservist of the Computer Service Directorate was seriously wounded, and several other soldiers were moderately and lightly hurt in the attack.
MDA paramedics administered emergency medical aid to eight victims, one in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and six in light condition, and evacuated them to Ziv Hospital. Later, MDA director Elin Bin announced that the body of a woman who was killed in a rocket fall was found in a building in northern Tzfas after paramedics carried out searches in the wake of the rocket hits. Her death was pronounced at the scene.
The seriously injured victim, a man in his 30s who was initially evacuated to Ziv, was airlifted to the trauma center at Rambam Hosptial in Haifa when it was discovered that rocket shrapnel had penetrated his skull and he required delicate neurosurgery.
The barrage on Wednesday morning was one of the heaviest since October 7th, with sirens sounding in many nearby areas, including Amukah and Meron, where an IDF air control facility is located. The facility has been targeted by Hezbollah several times in the past and sustained damage in at least two of the strikes.
A Saudi outlet reported that Hezbollah targeted the IDF Northern Command headquarters in Tzfas and the IDF airbase in Meron.
Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome.
Some areas of Tzfas are experiencing power outages following the barrage on the city.
