150 Missiles Strike Northern Cities Over Sabbath
Residents of northern Israel spent a very tense Sabbath in their bomb shelters as more than 150 missiles struck various towns and cities in the region. A Terror attack in Tel Aviv was prevented. In all, Magen David Adom officials told Arutz-7 that teams responded to 55 incidents over the sabbath, treating 39 injured individuals. Rockets struck Nahariya, Kiryat Shmona, Carmiel, Rosh Pina, Ma'alot, Hatzor Haglilit, the Golan Heights, Haifa and Tzfat. In Tzfat, four members of a single family were wounded - the 40-year-old mother seriously, her daughter moderately and her son and husband lightly. In Carmiel, one resident was wounded seriously Saturday evening. Carmiel was also hit earlier in the day, wounding two - one moderately and one lightly - as rockets struck their homes directly. In Kiryat Shmona, 26 missiles slammed into the city injuring six people lightly. On Friday, four people were moderately wounded and 12 lightly when ten rockets hit Haifa in two waves. One resident of Yesod Hama'aleh was lightly injured by shrapnel when a rocket struck the small village. Friday night, Tel Aviv police succeeded in apprehending three Arab terrorists in the city planning to carry out a bonb attack. The terrorists, who matched descriptions of suspects said to be on their way to an attack, were nabbed in a vehicle at the entrance to the Tel Aviv port, a hub of the city's night life.
