Some 20 people were injured Saturday, two of them seriously, as over 150 Katyusha rockets slammed into the north of Israel.
On Saturday evening, more than two dozen rockets were launched at northern Israel.
One made a direct hit on a home in Safed, wounding four members of the same family, one seriously and another moderately.
Also Saturday evening, rockets hit Nahariya and Carmiel, seriously wounding a Carmiel resident, reportedly after a Katyusha hit and destroyed his car. MDA Director-General Eli Bin, who arrived at the place shortly after the strike, said: "It appears as if the car sustained a direct hit, the entire vehicle is in pieces. The teams that were dispatched to the place provided assistance in this and in other scenes."
Dozens of Katyusha rockets landed in Nahariya, causing moderate wounds to one resident and three lightly injuries to three others. A Nahariya building that had already been hit once this week, was struck again Saturday. A resident of a nearby building, Yevgeni, told Ynet: "This is the fourth time that rockets have landed in our neighborhood, and the second time the same building is being hit. It's only a miracle no one was killed. My family and two other families are planning on leaving town today. I hope that the IDF kicks Hizbullah's butt and enable us to return home safely within a few days."
In Israel's northernmost city of Kiryat Shmona, six people were lightly injured as more than two dozen rockets landed in and around the city.
Rockets also hit Safed, Rosh Pina, Ma'alot, the Golan Heights, and the northern Galilee panhandle. Six rockets landed in open areas in Haifa.
