PA news agency says ‘unknown rocket’ that impacted between homes in Deir Istiya caused ‘significant material damage’
At least two Palestinians were reported wounded on Monday due to rockets fired by Lebanon’s Hezbollah that struck the northern West Bank.
The rocket was part of a barrage of some 10 long-range projectiles that Hezbollah launched at Israel, setting off sirens in several West Bank settlements east of Tel Aviv.
The IDF said the rockets struck open areas.
The Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency reported that the two — a 60-year-old man and an elderly woman — were hurt by “an unknown rocket” that struck between homes in Deir Istiya, causing “significant material damage.”
Images from Deir Istiya showed the site of the impact and damage to a nearby car and home.
Wafa did not specify the condition of the wounded Palestinians, but said they were taken to a hospital.
According to the report, “it was not determined if the rockets were fired from Lebanon or from the interceptor rockets launched by the Israeli occupation.”
The impact in Deir Istiya came amid some of the most intense fighting yet between Israel and Hezbollah, which have been engaged in skirmishes since the Lebanese terror group began launching attacks on northern communities and military posts following its fellow Iran-backed ally Hamas’s October 7 cross-border onslaught from the Gaza Strip.
