Israel: Authorities responding to suspected Hezbollah missile attack on Haifa as of early Oct. 7
Suspected Hezbollah missile attack targets Haifa, Israel, late Oct. 6. No official reports of casualties; emergency crews responding.
Emergency crews are responding to a suspected Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) missile attack on the city of Haifa as of the early hours of Oct. 7; the attack took place late Oct. 6. Authorities have as yet made no official reports of casualties and are continuing to assess the damage. It remains unclear how many projectiles impacted in the city.
Increased security is likely throughout Haifa through at least late Oct. 7. Further attacks cannot be ruled out.
If incoming mortar rounds or rockets are reported or warning sirens sound in the general vicinity, report to the nearest bomb shelter and await further instructions from authorities. If no shelter is nearby, stay indoors and away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor or basement. Maintain contact with diplomatic missions. Avoid all demonstrations and concentrations of security personnel. Consider avoiding nonessential travel to Israel and the Palestinian Territories until the situation stabilizes. Reconfirm flights and the status of roads and border crossings. Arrive early at airports to allow additional time for processing. Monitor local media and abide by security forces' directives.
