Interceptions over Haifa (Hezbollah Telegram)
Sirens sounded across Northern Israel at around 01:10 am on Sunday morning, with alerts in and around Haifa, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee.
According to KAN, a rocket fell in Nazareth, and a large fire broke out as a result of the strikes elsewhere in the city.
Hezbollah claimed the sirens were due to rockets fired by them from Lebanon, however the IDF has not yet confirmed.

The sirens sounded in areas where the Home Front Command were not updated on Saturday, when new restrictions were issued from Haifa and northward, limiting gatherings to 30 people outdoors and 300 indoors.
There were no changes southward of Haifa at this time, but the HFC said this could change at any time based on upcoming Hezbollah attacks.
