The Hezbollah terror group fired a heavy barrage of rockets at northern Israel on Tuesday morning.

Several rockets fell in the northern Israeli town of Ma’alot-Tarshisha in the western Galil, killing a young man and wreaking extensive physical damage.

The man was later identified as Mohammed Yasser Naim, 24. He had rushed with his younger siblings to a protective space but a rocket hit his home before he managed to enter it and he was killed on the spot. His younger siblings were lightly injured. They were treated at the scene and evacuated to the hospital for further treatment.

The house sustained serious damage. Additional rockets fell in the town, causing extensive damage.

The IDF spokesperson stated later that at least 50 rockets were fired in the barrage.
