Haifa
\nHezbollah has announced that it launched dozens of rockets at Israel\u2019s Ramat David Airbase, east of Haifa, in response to a series of Israeli attacks, prompting the UN to war of an \u201cimminent catastrophe\u201d if the tit-for-tat violence continues. Sirens were activated across northern Israel in the early hours of Sunday.
\nIf confirmed, the assault would be Hezbollah\u2019s farthest-reaching attack inside Israel since the start of the ongoing cross-border clashes in October last year. The Israeli military said more than 100 projectiles were fired early on Sunday from Lebanon, forcing hundreds of thousands to take cover and prompting school closures in Israel\u2019s north.
\nEducational activities would not be permitted across northern Israel until at least Monday at 6pm (15:00 GMT), the military\u2019s Home Front Command said, affecting \u201chundreds of thousands of children\u201d, according to military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani.
\n\u201cIn Haifa, a lot of schools are closed \u2026 and offices are empty,\u201d said resident Patrice Wolff, who works in the medical industry.
\nThe Israeli military also issued restrictions on large gatherings in northern Israel, including Haifa \u2013 the country\u2019s third-largest city.
\nThere were no reports of casualties or any significant damage by rockets in Israel on Sunday.
\nOn Saturday, the Israeli army said it carried out hundreds of air raids across southern Lebanon. It also claimed attacks on 110 other locations in the early hours of Sunday morning.
\nIn a statement issued by his office on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel \u201cinflicted a series of blows\u201d against Hezbollah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
