Israelis run for cover as air raid sirens sound in Haifa

Residents of the northern Israeli city of Haifa ran for shelter as sirens rang out Monday evening.

“Sirens sounded in the city of Haifa and surrounding areas, northern Israel,” the Israeli army said in a statement.

Approximately 180 projectiles and one unmanned aerial vehicle crossed into Israeli airspace over the course of the day Monday in various parts of the country’s north, the army reported.

The majority of the projectiles were either intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system or fell in open areas, it said.
