Five people, one Israeli and four foreign workers, were killed after a rocket hit Metula, more precisely in an agricultural area located about 100 yards from the border with Lebanon.
Israeli authorities also reported that one person was seriously injured as a result of the attack.
Hours later, the death of a 60-year-old mother and her 30-year-old son was reported in the Arab village of Shefa-'Amr, located near the city of Haifa, as a result of a rocket hitting an agricultural area.
Authorities reported that a 70-year-old man was slightly injured in the attack.

Earlier this week, Avhisai Stern, mayor of Kiryat Shmona, a city in northern Israel, commented on the arrival of envoys from U.S. President Joe Biden, who are in the region to help advance a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. In an interview with the Israeli news portal Ynet, Stern said, "The key is not what is written in the agreement, but how it is enforced or how its implementation is guaranteed afterwards."
The mayor expressed skepticism about the current conditions, stating that he does not believe they are conducive to an agreement that would ensure enforcement.
