The teenager was killed when the Katyusha struck her family's apartment in a direct hit. Her 30-year-old brother was seriously wounded and her 12-year-old sister suffered light injuries. 20 other people in the town were treated for shock and light injuries. Police are checking reports that a mosque was also damaged in the attack.

The stepped-up rocket attacks throughout northern Israel have also caused great property damage. In one case, a rocket scored a direct hit on a residence in Nahariya, and another missile damaged a building in a Haifa suburb. A number of areas in Nahariya have reported power outages, with Israel Electric Company teams working to restore power as of Tuesday afternoon. Nahariya has suffered at least eight Hizbullah rocket strikes during the day Tuesday, five of them in the mid-afternoon alone.
