Israeli port city of Haifa hit by rockets fired from Lebanon
The rockets hit a restaurant, a house, and a main road, injuring five people.
Israel's third biggest city, Haifa, has been hit by rockets fired from Lebanon, after Israel's air defence system failed to shoot them down. It's thought this is the first time the city has been directly hit since the current fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah, began a year ago.
Israel has continued its war on Hezbollah. Residents in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, say the bombing there overnight was the most intense yet.
Relatives of Israelis killed and kidnapped on October 7 are marking the anniversary of Hamas's attack on Israel at vigils across the country. Thousands of people have gathered at the sit of the Nova open air music festival where more than three hundred were killed while they were partying. We'll speak to our Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, who's in Israel close to the Gaza boundary.
The US and Israeli defence secretaries have spoken, as discussions continue about how Israel should respond to Iran's missile attack on Israel last week.
