Nahariya residents began to leave the northern border city en masse Thursday
after a deadly Katyusha rocket attack killed a 40-year-old woman and wounded
29 others.
Dozens of families were seen packing their belongings in the city's Green
Naharyia neighborhood and making their way south to escape the reach of
Hezbollah's rockets.
Local resident Rivka Vekart described the incident in which her neighbor was
killed, saying she was thrown off her balcony from the rocket's impact.
"Am ambulance came and started to search for the woman outside her house but
didn't find her until she was found a floor beneath," Vekart said. "We don't
know what to do but one thing is for sure: We shall not leave. We weren't
scared in the past and they won't scare us now."
Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces ordered residents of communities up to 15
kilometers from the Lebanese border to take shelter in local bunkers.
