rebels set off sirens early Wednesday morning, sending some one million people rushing for the safety of bomb shelters.
The Israel Defense Forces said the missile was "probably intercepted successfully" by air defenses. Alerts are sounded as a precaution against falling missile and interceptor debris, which has in the past caused injuries and even death.
Sirens went off at 4 a.m. in Haifa and the surrounding area, as well as the Western Galilee region. Explosions from the interceptions were heard in Haifa and the Sharon region.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported no direct injuries from the attack or impacts from debris, but said paramedics treated a number of people who were maimed while rushing for shelter.
The Israel Police said officers were ready to look for fallen debris if any was reported to its emergency call center. Police warned the public not to approach any debris as it may contain explosives.
