2 Israelis Killed As Hezbollah Rains Rockets From Haifa To Kiryat Shmona, 'Repels' IDF In Lebanon

Two Israelis were killed in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, as the army and Hezbollah exchanged fire along the border. Israeli emergency responders said they “found a man and a woman aged around 40 years old, unconscious and injured by shrapnel." The incident is the first involving civilian deaths since Israel’s ground incursion into southern Lebanon. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said some 20 projectile launches were identified crossing from Lebanon after air raid sirens were activated in Kiryat Shmona. Hezbollah said on October 9 its fighters pushed back advancing Israeli troops in clashes along the length of the border.
