Four people were injured in the attack, Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance, and blood bank service, stated.
A 75-year-old man was lightly hurt by glass shards following a rocket impact in the Haifa area.
Moreover, homes and cars were also damaged in Kiryat Ata.
The latest attack marks one of the largest rocket attacks on the port city amid the fighting with Lebanon-based Hezbollah group.
Last month, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at Haifa in two barrages.
This comes days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that Tel Aviv was behind the pager and walkie-talkie attacks in Lebanon in September.
“The pager operation and the elimination of (Hezbollah leader Hassan) Nasrallah were carried out despite the opposition of senior officials in the defense establishment and those responsible for them in the political echelon,” The Times of Israel quoted Netanyahu as saying.
