A Hezbollah rocket fired from Lebanon on Thursday killed an Israeli man in his 30s in the northern city of Nahariya.

The rocket was one of 10 fired at the Western Galilee in the latest barrage, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The army added that most of the projectiles were intercepted, but that impacts were identified.

There were three impact sites in Nahariya, Hebrew media reported.

“Witnesses told us that the victim was struck by shrapnel that landed in a public park. Unfortunately, due to the severe nature of his injuries, there was nothing more we could do,” said Barak Lavi, a United Hatzalah medic who was at the scene.

“We arrived at an open space near a playground and saw a male in his 30s lying unconscious with shrapnel wounds. Following a medical assessment he was found with no signs of life and we pronounced him deceased,” Magen David Adom EMT Dor Vaknin said.
