Hezbollah Rocket Injures Two in Kiryat Shmona 

IFCJ Canada  |  March 26, 2026

The situation in the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona remains dire. Located just miles from the Lebanese border, the city continues to face ongoing rocket fire, with residents often having less than a minute of warning before impact. Many people are remaining in shelters, as it is unsafe to move about freely.  

According to The Jerusalem Post, rocket shrapnel injured two people in Kiryat Shmona, including an incident in which a bus was struck during one of two major attacks. 

According to Magen David Adom, a man in his 50s sustained a head injury from shrapnel while he was near the bus and is in moderate-serious condition. 

A piece of rocket shrapnel also impacted the street in Kiryat Shmona, according to Fire and Rescue Services. 

No serious injuries were reported aside from the man in his 50s, who was treated by Magen David Adom and evacuated to Rambam Hospital by Hatzalah helicopter. 

Another man, in his 80s, was also wounded by shrapnel and taken to Ziv Hospital in mild condition by Magen David Adom. 

Elsewhere in Israel, additional attacks have caused injuries and damage. Reports indicate that several people were injured across Tel Aviv and central Israel during a series of missile strikes, and an Israeli man was killed in the northern community of Misgav Am when his vehicle sustained a direct hit. 

IFCJ Canada and our global Fellowship family continue to provide food and essential supplies to vulnerable families, children, and the elderly during this time of escalation. We pray for the families of those who have been lost, for the recovery of the wounded, and for God’s protection over all who remain in harm’s way.
