    On November 25, a rocket attack struck Nahariya in northern Israel, displacing residents and causing damage. Ofir Ben David, a displaced resident from Shomra, described the constant fear of missiles, recalling seeing fires in a nearby building and a burning car during the attack. The Israeli military intercepted ten projectiles launched from Lebanon, where Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for the rocket fire.
