Magen David Adom (MDA), Fire and Rescue services, and Israel Police have deployed to multiple locations across the city. First responders continue to conduct thorough sweeps of the impact sites to ensure no additional casualties.

This evening's attack represents the second such incident in the Haifa area today, occurring amid heightened tensions along the Lebanese border.

Earlier today, the IDF announced a significant tactical shift, deploying artillery units inside Lebanese territory for the first time since the security zone era to enhance response capabilities against such attacks.
