Lebanon’s Hezbollah said it launched an attack on Monday targeting the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, where first responders reported a man was wounded.
The Iran-backed militant group said in a statement that its fighters targeted Nahariya “with a barrage of rockets and a swarm of attack drones”.
Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency responders said that paramedics in the area were treating a man “in mild to moderate condition suffering from blast injuries”.
The blast was from “a missile strike between two buildings that caused a large fire”, MDA paramedic Yonatan Avilea said in a statement.
The emergency service added that paramedics were also providing treatment to six people — two teenage girls and four adults — suffering from smoke inhalation.
Military sources quoted by Israel’s public broadcaster KAN said that the impact was caused by a rocket and not an Israeli interceptor, denying previous reports in the media.
