Saying it intends to force more Israelis from their homes, Hezbollah fired at least 180 missiles into Israel on Oct. 8, including more than 100 in a midday barrage that targeted the port city of Haifa.

The rocket barrage on Haifa left one person reported wounded, hit by falling shrapnel. Damage was reported to homes.
