Hezbollah rockets hit an Israeli Arab village on Thursday, killing two people, including an infant, and wounding two others, medics said.

The rockets hit the village of Deir al Assad in northern Israel, the Magen David Adom rescue service said. One rocket scored a direct hit on a home in the village of Dir el-Asad, near Karmiel, killing woman and her son. The five-year-old boy was initially critically injured, but later died of his wounds. Two more people were wounded, one seriously and one lightly, while 38 others were treated for shock, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Two people were killed when the rocket hit a house in the village. Two others were wounded, one seriously and one lightly, the medics said.

Rockets also struck Nahariya, Safed, the Golan Heights, and the Haifa Bay area.

So far, 38 civilians have been killed by Hezbollah rockets since the fighting began July 12.
