Elsewhere in northern Israel, numerous people reported damage to their vehicles, such as shattered windshields and roofs damaged by shrapnel.
A 17-year-old was killed in a car accident near the Bedouin town of Zarzir, in an incident which was linked to the Hezbollah barrages.
According to Magen David Adom paramedics, the teen had been driving when air raid sirens suddenly began wailing. He panicked, lost control of his vehicle, and tragically died in the ensuing accident.
The Hezbollah barrages marked a major escalation by the terror group, which had mostly targeted communities in northern Israel directly adjacent to the border with Lebanon.
But the barrages early Sunday morning targeted all areas of Israel’s north, including its largest city, Haifa, and its environs, along with the Upper and Lower Galilee, Tiberias area, and the Jezreel Valley.
Some of the Hezbollah rockets reached Israeli airspace some 105 kilometers (65 miles) south of the Israel-Lebanon border.
